Dear Arachnids, Thank you again for all of your help in identifying holes in my list of countries with lace traditions around the world!
The reason for this is a new project I am working on creating a YouTube channel to share information about lace to a larger audience. I am not a big user of YouTube myself, but it is the #2 search engine used to find information after Google, and videos about lace are limited. For my very first video I am going to break down myths that the general public believe about lace (if they've even thought about it!). One of the ideas I've encountered is that lace is a purely European textile, and while its origins are European, there are plenty of regions that make it around the world. That being said, what are some of the myths you've all encountered about lace, or the things you wish people knew about lace? I'm including things like the idea that all lace is tatting, or that lace is a dying art (I can personally attest that this is not true!), and other things we've probably all heard while demonstrating in public. But I'd love to hear from you all about what lace myths you think need busting!
