I agree Rebecca. My husband is a good chess player but has never learnt bobbin lace. However he has often studied what I am doing and has detected a mistake before I was aware of it. Like chess, he examined the possibilities of pathways and was able to see the upcoming problem.
Annette in a warm Wollongong, Australia Rebecca Mikkelsen wrote Lorelei posted that she compares learning bobbin lace to woodcarving. I compare learning bobbin lace to chess. In one chess lesson you can learn the basic moves and play a simple game of chess, but it takes a lifetime to master the game. I think bobbin lace is like that.
