Thanks for the welcome back Bev, and also for your and Sally's welcome advice. Sally touched on something that worried me from day 1 when I first started making lace Posture and position at the cushion. Pity there isn't a group of recommendations to follow: cushion at such and such a height

I'd suggest starting with the lace you most enjoyed making in the past. If you're already enjoying the pleasure of holding the bobbins again, I'm sure you'll find it'll come back to you quickly - kind of like riding a bike. Sue suebabbs...@gmail.com -Original Message- - To

Well done Liz. Even though your student took a long time learning to make her lace I’m sure she values her ability to make it and will always remember you with gratitude for the way you would repeatedly go over the same points. That’s teaching and learning. Happy lacemaking to you both Alex

Hello micki (and everyone) Welcome back to lace ;) My free advice is to start with a pattern with just a few pairs to get a sense of the process as you mention. It doesn't need to be a beginning pattern, if you can see right away what you need to do to start - a bookmark is logical or could be a

Mietje Sorry to hear about such a serious accident, and lingering pain. But I think you will find that a 4 year gap won't have cost you much. I had about an 8 year gap in lacemaking because of family issues and remembered virtually everything without difficulty. Although with the more difficult

I'd be tempted to enlarge a simple bookmark pattern to about 300% plus and make it using yarn as a slim scarf. The pattern would make up quick to get you back in the saddle and using the large pattern would work well with getting you back to the pattern. L Kind Regards Liz Baker On 3 May

Now there's a thought Liz, but I might make curtain tie backs using your idea. Bought curtains yesterday for my son and his lovely girlfriend and thought the curtains needed tie backs. I think a large scale project like this could be very positive and encouraging. Great idea, thanks! Mietjie

Mariña's book published a few years ago was on Hinojosa lace, which is related to but not exactly the same as Candida's lace. It was distributed by Holly in the US but whether there are any copies left anywhere is another matter, certainly all the UK ones were sold. As far as I have heard, the
