October 1 is the day American lacemakers are to demonstrate lacemaking. I
am planning to go to the local mall, sit in the central area where there are
chairs, and make lace. In the afternoon I go to my weekly knitting group,
and I will be bringing my lace instead of my knitting. How are you
planning to spend October 1? If you are working, how about bringing your
travel pillow to work on over lunch? If the weather is as lovely as it has
been, how about going to a public place, the town square, maybe the library,
perhaps with permission, and make lace there. I have heard of one lace
maker who made lace on street corners, downtown. I don't have any
non-working lacemaker friends close by, so I am going by myself. I do have
a half sheet of information, a popular manual that can be purchased on
Amazon, two suppliers, the names of the local lacemaking guilds, as well as
the national. Nothing fancy. I give it out to those who clearly have an
interest, not to everyone.
Lyn in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA, where the weather for the past several
weeks has been glorious. Sit outside without a jacket, little rain,
sunshine or just a few clouds. Perfect outdoor lacemaking weather.
