Just had a flashback to walking through a crafting tent at either West of England Steam Engine Rally or the Royal Cornwall Show, years ago.
There was a lady of many advanced years, sat at a table with the items needed to do lace work and she was making lace at her stand. It was incredibly fine work and looked like it took a lot of concentration. She had a dark velvety cushion in her lap, with some kinds of pins and then threads on these little weighted handles to work with.
