The wife makes lace. She crochets. That is making a bunch of little knots with a little stick that pulls the thread back. I love to watch her hands go at it. At one time that skill was used to make fishing nets using bigger line and sticks. As for all the others I have dun them at one time or the other. I hate haggling. I will do it, but I would rather just pay the price asked. Some times you just have to or you will end up paying way to much.
