Good morning!
I'm usually one of the quieter (not quite lurker status, as I ask
questions and get fabulous answers) members, but I do recall a comment
made in an email not so long ago hoping that more people would
actually post.
I've been lurking about forever (longer on chat) as one of the
red-headed stepchildren of lacemakers (knitted lace was my first lace
love) and about a year ago finally took the plunge towards becoming a
'real' (quotes deliberate and tongue in cheek) lacemaker and blew the
dust off the beginner bobbin lace kit that loitered in the work room
for well over a decade.
(Snowgoose kit, not the horror kit. See? I was listening!)
I did a tape lace hanky edging (thank you Lorelei / lynxlace. Thank
you thank you) and it will be going off as a gift in an artisan
exchange shortly.

It's about seven inches across, to give a sense of scale. Don't squint
too closely at it, you'll find a bazillion mistakes, but the first few
million mistakes are in the first repeat and they go down from there.
Apparently just listening in to all you experts for years upon years
really /does/ help!
Happy Monday!
