Hi Arachnids,

A lace maker in Dutch is a ‘kantkloster’  (kant=lace; klos[je]=bobbin;
kloster=[female] user of bobbins).

Could the girl be peering at the work to see the pricking better if she is
myopic?  I am myopic and if I want to see really fine work my glasses come off
and I get close to the work. I can then see the work better than any of my
students who are not myopic.
