I'm afraid this observation can be misleading. Shouldn't the resistance of
the bobbin pulled up, be added to the resistance of the bobbin you are
trying to pull down? If so you'll need twice as much length. Added to that,
when you start with a false headside, you have usually a double-twist
Hi Spiders,
My DD has put a new pattern on my web page for March (see below
and look under Pattern Gallery). I am posting today seeing as it is already
on there. It is the rocking horse that morphed into a dalahorse and then
Rudolph for a Christmas card. It is a way of starting a pattern using
I'm finally out from under a big pile of emails and other things, and I
want to report on the Winter Lace Conference that was put on by
Hedgehog Lacers (with help from a few other guilds in the southern
California area). I was quite surprised to find out it was the *first*

Everyone's different but from my experience...
When I had thumb tendonitis the physiotherapist suggested I wear a
thumb brace and rest my thumb (no lacemaking etc). The thumb got
worse and I ended up with a trigger thumb.
Only when I gave up wearing the brace did my thumb start to improve!
I can't really rest my hand from life, which seems to be what's annoying it.
I can plainly see that completely rigid braces will make the problem worse -
partly by spreading it around. That's why I want braces that allow
function.
Yours,

Hello Jean
I'm pretty mystified by the jam rolls as well. They're
certainly not as obvious as the other differences the
ads dig at (pants versus trousers etc.)
The only thing I can think is that the (possibly very
middle-class) advertising scriptwriter thinks of
mini-rolls as being typically
A man is driving down the road and his car breaks down near a monastery. He
goes to the monastery, knocks on the door, and says, My car broke down. Do
you think I could stay the night?

As the man tries to f all asleep, he hears

tall I am in feet, but know that I am 1m71 or 171 cm, and can reach the
top shelves and am often asked by other, smaller, customers to help them
out. One old man in a wheelie-thing even waits for me in certain aisles.

I am with you other short folk...I am 5'2 as well (and I am one of the
taller in my family) maybe it is my English/Irish ancestory to blame...I
hate not being able to reach stuff. I am very vocal and make the grocers
and store personnel work very hard keeping me happy.
Fortunately I live in a

correct
1 m 71 converts to 5 ft 6 inches
No! 1m 71 converts to just over 5 ft 7 inches
2.540 cm = 1
You see, this is why I never bothered to try and convert my height: you
get different answers!

In one the stupid American detective says what he wants is ... and
some of those cute little jam rolls you British have at fancy parties. What
