Speaking of which, I had the pleasure of demonstrating bobbin lace at the Evergreen State Fair in Washington today, my first experience demonstrating bobbin lace.
My goodness, if I had a nickel for everyone who said I was tatting, it would have paid for my lunch! Jeesh! One woman came by and told me her father used to "do that." I said, "He made bobbin lace?" "No," she said, "he tatted." Oh well, yet another opportunity to gently educate the masses. Barbara Joyce Snoqualmie, WA USA > Personally, I never had a problem with this "definition".
