Your volunteering is noted, Devon! I'll use you as a model as soon as I have made something wearable..:-) That's my problem! I don't really dress the proper way for emphasizing beautiful lace, and I don't make lace to wear (except fo a 3D orchid brooch for my mother)! Knitted fabrics are not particularly glamorous, at least not the ones I wear. But you are quite right, we should be wearing our lace, and be ready to sell it too, if we meets some enlightened person who is ready to buy it on the spot at your price! But I bet 99% of our lacemakers would say "Oh, it's not for sale, I like it too much to sell it, even at the right price"...
