Hi, Last Saturday (i.e. the one before yesterday - I'm never sure what "last" and "next" mean in English) I went to the Freeway Lace Guild Meeting. I had lots of fun - thanks for everyone who was there and is on arachne! I started a bookmark, and spent exactly all of my money on a new pillow, tools and colored thread - fortunately one merciful sould gave all my new stuff a ride so that I didn't have to bike home for half an hour with two pillows hanging from my back <g>. I got to see other people's work, pretty bobbins and such - also I now know what tatting looks like. And one lady did the most amazing thing with her lace pillow - she needed the bobbins for something else, so she unwound the thread from *38 pairs* of bobbins in the middle of making a lace piece with them, and just left all of the thread there by itself. It looked very scary... I was too busy running around and trying to look at everything at once to do much work, but I got started on a bookmark and learned lots of new styles of spiders. Meeting other lacemakers was great! I'm really looking forward to meeting other lacemakers in Alaska and Sunnyvale in the summer.
