I have stated before that this blog is a collection of rabbit holes, a written account of my exploration of craft related warrens. I have never been a frilly kind of person, not into ruffles and ribbons, but that might change as I have found a reason to be interested in lace.

I have a few pieces of inherited lace in my craft room. Mostly crocheted doilies and machine made lace. My husband and I went antiquing and I found a couple new-to-me kinds of lace examples. It made me want to know how to tell hand made lace from machine made lace. Here is the rabbit hole. I was lumping machine made lace into one big discardable pile, but not only are there varying ratios of hand/machine made, there are different machines that produce different lace, and ways to tell them apart. Ooo, craft identification: lace edition. I see the rabbit hole, have taken a peek, and there are more tunnels. I need to do more reading, but hope to scratch the surface enough to share my findings.
