The normal definition is that lace is 'holes surrounded by thread' (whether that thread be yarn, cotton, wire, or whatever). Crochet fits that definition and is accepted as being lace, (particularly Irish Crochet) but some people prefer to think of crochet that is, for example, squares made of wool and sewn together into a blanket, as crochet rather than lace, and the finer fillet or Irish crochet as being lace. Hairpin lace has a very lacy appearance and I would count it as lace, whichever definition you use.
