Carol's "best wishes and may your pins never bend" reminded me of a poem I wrote (last year? I forget) for Christmas cards for lacemaking friends.
If anyone taking part in our annual Christmas Card exchange would like to use this in their card, they are more than welcome to do so. Especially at Christmas, Here's a greeting that brings A whole lot of wishes For life's nicest things May your lace give you pleasure May your pins never bend May the thread on your bobbins Last right to the end. May there always be prickings And bobbins galore And lacemaking friends Coming in your front door. And then through the New Year May the same things hold true So that each day is filled With life's best things for you!
