A web article by Brian Lemin that walks through the year month by month, describing feast days, holidays and customs of English bobbin lacemakers. It draws mainly on Wright's Romance of the Lace Pillow and Jones and Deer's book on feasts, covering Candlemas, Shrove Tuesday, Nutting Day, Cutting Off Day, Cattern and Tanders Day, and St Thomas's Day. It also discusses candle stools, fairing bobbins, Cattern cakes and candlestick-jumping rhymes, and ends with a request for information on Continental lacemakers' festivals.
