I can relate to part of this too I was 5 when I learned to knit
and 10 when I taught myself to crochet (I'm left handed). I
learned most other crafts before I left school and since school I've

Hello Everybody,
nearly all of you pointed out the reasons some lace events didn't find
as much visitors as years ago, so I must not add the same ideas.

Hello all Arachne friends,
I want to give you a short view of what happens in Spain. Here the lace
making "boom" started later than in UK or USA (as I can guess from your
messages). Although lace has been made for ages here, in the last decades
only old women did it or remembered how to make it. I
Sister Claire,
I agree with you with this
Oh - a word to those of you who feel the pinch of having to drive

I do agree with what Sue has said. When I was a new lacemaker part of my
reason for attending lace days was to meet other lacemakers. The class
that I joined in London was mostly Japan

Hi Lacers,
Well, when Wal-mart stops selling fabric - which seems to be happening at my

average age of the lacemakers is increasing as well.
When the guild's started up 30 or so years ago, there was a great deal of
interest, a huge lace revival if you like. But also many younger women were
not working and had
