Interesting thoughts, Lyn, and hello everyone
Thinking in terms of lacemaking as a job, not a hobby, repetitive work
but requiring the attention of the operator, I liken it to
touch-typing in a later era.
Typing was something 'women could do' for income as was lacemaking.
Both require small-motor
You have raised several interesting topics. I've been making lace for 18
years. I started when I was working full time so I had limited time to put on
lacemaking. I've done more since retiring.
Lacemaking is not fast. Some people are faster than others...true for most
activities. They move

I found this an interesting message. While I've made lots of small pieces,
done designs, taught others, taken lessons to learn new types of lace, I
also have a couple of pillows that have yardage on them.
They are my "go back to to relax and do some mindless lacemaking for a

experience is limited to small pieces. But for the past few years I
