This past week a friend and fellow netter from Brazil sent me some wonderful lace photos. When I asked her if I could post the photos here, she responded that they were not hers. Then she included the links.
I looked and saw that the 12 photos she had e-mailed me were only the beginning. Here are the links she sent me:

When I first started looking at the links, I thought that much of the lace was netting. Then I noticed, with the help of translate.google.com, some of the sites were about needle lace. I know the two laces are different in the way that they are made. What I want to know is how to tell the difference between needle lace and netting when looking at photos or the real items.
