Did anyone receive my memo yesterday about the Thistle Threads blog? One subject was Tricia Wilson Nguyen's recommendations of You Tube, podcasts, audio books while you are doing handwork. We women DO multi-task, and some of her text was very interesting. Many of you are able to make Lace and learn something new at the same time! On this morning's CBS Sunday Morning program, hosted by Jane Pauley, there was a segment about something related to this: Soundless slow-motion Public TV (without ads) in Norway. It seems to have become a fad there, and is a nice way to watch something out of the corner of your eye while making Lace. They showed a variety of film examples, one of which was about knitting, sheep shearing, etc. Some of these films run without repeating for many hours. It's non-intrusive, yet keeps you company when you glance up to re-focus your eyes. Second, there was coverage on this same program about children competing in the Robotic championships. Had you read my memo and then the Thistle Threads Blog, it would have jumped right out at you. These particular participants were quite young, compared to the teenagers that Tricia Wilson Nguyen coaches. Correspondence on Arachne is scarce. It is not a good trend. Surely, you have something to say about a recent guild meeting's speaker, work you are doing, questions to ask? Jeri Ames in Maine USA Lace and Embroidery Resource Center
