    Google translate shows the word knyppla [Swedish] to mean make lace. It does not specify how a particular type lace is made. In Swedish the word was always knyppla, and knyppling for lace making with bobins.

    I collected handmade lace doilies many years ago. Mounted them against blue background fabric in guilded and white antiqued frames covering a large wall. When asked what gave me the idea I used to say that the lace art reminded me to be humble, to compare what talented women who went before us had been limited to do, to reassess what I had accomplished. It was especially important when tired and overworked I bemoaned my lot, felt sorry for myself. All I had to do was to lift my eyes to their intricate lace work, imagine what their lives were like when doing them, and be grateful for what I had.

    Very Classy Boudicca! The word diminutive comes to my mind. So delicate! :)
