Won First Place under the small doily class within the Lace category at the 2013 Maryland State Fair.

Competed and won against two other tatted lace doilies when there was uncertainty (according to intake) about whether knitted lace is regarded as true Lace.

Required about three days to make. I wore a bandage on the left forefinger to prevent blistering when working with the fine knitting pins.

My working hypothesis: Historic disputes aside, if it’s made with thread and looks like lace, it is lace.
