That is certainly a different take, to me, on the process of lacemaking, but an interesting parallel of step-by-step instructions, as we use in making lace, with the algorithm "set of instructions." I had to google algorithm, too (I last knew it, in a long ago computer course, itself now ancient history...); there was a good definition at Wikipedia, among other sites.
