Jean,
When we travel, we always get our Dr. to write a note naming the
prescription drugs we are carrying with us.
So far we have not been asked about them.
As to your knee. You should have a medical card with the Knee replacement
marked on it, to show whenever you are screened. Ask you Dr
Except conventions there's another point of concern to attract young
lacemakers. Let me tell my own story.
I started lace making at my mid-teens with a few books. Those
days I never thought of seeking contact with other lace makers, lacemaking
was just one of many things I experimented with. I

My favorite way to deal with bookmark tails is with a macrame knot. A little
hard to describe without diagrams but I'll try.
Use one pair of threads from each side of the tassel - hereafter referred to as
passives - to make knots around the passives. Lay the knotting pair from the
left side
I know this has been discussed numerous times on Arachne, but with the various

There are a couple methods I frequently use with bookmarks.

I fringe a bookmark that has a flat end. Take two adjacent pairs

I have just turned 60 (please whisper that, as I don't really feel that
age - I *may* look it, but certainly don't feel it...) and have been making
lace for 25 years now, so from being one of a gang of youngsters, we are now

Hi All,
I don't know how large the suitcases are that you'll all be carting around,
but I have a travel pillow made by a Norfolk (UK) lacemaker, but similar to
the one sold by SMP Lace in the UK. It folds up into a large brick shape,
and when it is opened out, the apron is larger than most
