Not for me

The other day I saw a demonstration of bobbin lace. Sheesh, did that lacemaker make those bobbins fly! I have no clue how she could move so fast, yet remember where she was in the pattern.

But even though I’m curious as to how bobbin lace works, even though I’m a skill junkie that likes to collect skills like other people collect stamps or Kewpie dolls, I don’t see myself picking up bobbin lace. Tatting, maybe someday, just for yuks. Weaving, definitely, one of these days. But bobbin lace? Nah, no thanks. Too fiddly for me.
