Dear Shell You raised the following question:
"I do have a question - how many of us do more than one form of lace? I personally have done some tatting with a bobbin, knitted lace and bobbin lace. I am still learning the needle lace and other forms. I just wonder how many of us do more than one form." Well I have just counted up the number of different types of lace I do and am amazed. Apart from bobbin lace, I do needlelace, crochet (both Irish Crochet and Hairpin) Carrickmacross (not my favourite), have tried Limerick, Coggeshall (tambour), Tenerife, Tatting (very occasionally but I can do it) Ruskin lace (which is a form of embroidery but its called lace) and possibly others that I haven't mentioned. I must say though, that my favourite is Bobbin lace and needlelace. To be honest there is enough in the bobbin and needlelace alone to keep me going for all of my lifetime and probably several more.
