Unfortunately the nun who taught it was amazingly old and retired before I made it to the top of the list for a cushion but the chance was there however briefly and I did learn filet lace which is done with a very fine crochet hook.sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03247276433803886670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686467686335484826.post-51656288564652738132010-06-30T16:49:53.353-07:002010-06-30T16:49:53.353-07:00I love that idea that the passing down of these an...I love that idea that the passing down of these ancient skills forms a civilized society. I am now desperately running through my list of skills I could pass on........<br /><br />Think my family is destined to be forever feral. Unless catching coins flipped from your elbow is considered a useful skill. Don't think I'd attract many tourists if I sat outside my quaint house practicing my ancient art. <br /><br />I now want to make lace! Thanks for adding another Want to my list. It can go in between building an igloo and playing the mandolin.MadameSmokinGunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00369302102195138989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686467686335484826.post-24265585451425188842010-06-30T15:15:57.406-07:002010-06-30T15:15:57.406-07:00Fantastic, what a star!Fantastic, what a star!Mairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00516412983740136098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686467686335484826.post-17900119834309612622010-06-30T11:07:51.320-07:002010-06-30T11:07:51.320-07:00my mum has some beautiful lace bobbins.
