[edit] Definition
Talk What is Lace? The article doesn't say.
Added a definition, but it reads a little bit like "Lace is fabric with holes in it." Boojum 04:12, 28 May 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Lacemakers
I am trying to find out if stoolball was also played by lacemakers.In olden times lacemakers used a candle stool to work lace when sunlight was not strong enough or if work continued after sunset.This was a four leged stool with 4-5 holes in the middle of the stool to hold flaskes which were filed with water and placed inverted in these holes. In the middle was a large candle which reflected the light onto the flaskes thus giving more light to the workers.Could lacemakers on festive days play games -such as stoolball - useing there stool. the flaskes could easly be removed, unscrewing a leg which acted as a bat and using a pincochine as a ball.
In Malta we have a children's game called "Bzallu" which had rules simlar to rounders but was much simplerthen rounders.Mon. Feb.20, 200680.71.101.211 19:37, 20 February 2006 (UTC)Iris.
[edit] Adding a History Section
I have added a history section to this article and I am inviting people to contribute research to help highlight how lace making crosses cultures and borders. --Eastbayway 20:12, 15 May 2007 (UTC)—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Eastbayway (talk • contribs) 20:12, 15 May 2007 (UTC).
Whether or not the passage from Exodus that was mentioned represents an accurate translation of the word that has been translated from Hebrew as "lace" is questionable. For example, whereas the King James Version reads "And they shall bind the breastplate by the rings thereof unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue" the International Version reads "The rings of the breastplace are to be tied to the ephod with blue cord." In other versions, it has been translated as "thread." 71.158.160.113 05:50, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Lace-making → Lace – Lace redirects to lace-making. If there is only going to be one article, I think it should be lace. The current content would be fine at the new name. -- Kjkolb 05:37, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
