10th International Lace Day is coming up.

This is where we demonstrate that lace was not just in the 18th century--lacemakers are lacing today still! We carry on the historic knowledge and skills, and we do lace artistry in new ways.

Register for their map to show lacemaking exists around the world and is alive. Then submit a photo.

New virtual winter classes have been announced by #TheLaceMuseum.

Full disclosure: I'm a volunteer moderator (unpaid) for some of them. Mostly that means I start the Zoom recording and send out the links.

For those interested in #Lace, I have wrested control of the previously cancelled r/Lace subreddit and it's going to get better.

Open to adding some co-mods so it doesn't get lost again, too. If you are on reddit, come on by.
