https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwcSaAXtZsc is may favorite to date, although at 1931, I wish it was a little bit earlier. For Saint Catherine's Day, I tried to explore the lace tells, and to that end, and with the help of arachne, located a Bucks Point pattern that is simple and intuitive, then tried to make it as fast as I could. I have to say, I worked up impressive speed. However, my husband told me that he believed that if I were to ever really see what they were doing in the 19th century, it would be entirely different than what I was doing. This youtube is interesting in that the woman is using her left hand way more than I use mine. In some cases, it seems like she does all the movements with her left hand and uses the right, principally for pin placement. Is this an aberration between two lacemakers, or do we think that this is historically correct? Devon
