Funnily enough, Noelene, I was looking at that pattern again only a few days
ago! I do like it, and will get round to it one day..if only I live long

Yes I always use paired gimps now in Torchon, they are a must if you are
working in colour. I recently finished Biggins Rainbow mat, and as my gimps
were paired the rainbow stands out magnificently!

Avital, I didn't mean to imply that you weren't doing your
job as moderator... Just as you said, the people involved
were stung by the comments, and two people with whom I have
a cordial relationship have expressed their feelings to me.

Hi everyone and Sally
My student-bobbins that I'm using for Flanders (myself being the student)
have that 'sound' to them like you describe, and I have supposed they are
made of boxwood, a more recent harvest than yours to be sure, and the wood
therefore younger, somewhat less dense than old

If using a flash, you may also want to diffuse the flash with a piece of
organza or tissue over the flash. I've done this several times,

Hi All,
For months I have been dealing with a cranky computer. I won't go into

Pat and Spiders,
I misled you all, and I do apologise! As Pat has informed me, the

It may (?) teach me to look before I burst into print - but there again,
probably not.
