Yes, we have to keep busy while many are away at the convention. Good idea, Bev!
Hey, hey, hey! Don't count your chickens until they're hatched ("don't divide the bear's pelt while he's still chasing you" if you'd rather I used Polish <g>)... We're not gone yet; I'm not leaving till *Saturday*, won't unsubscribe till late Fri night. The idea! :)
I still have the Arachne spider on the pillow; the @ is now done, as is most of the spider (4 legs are still missing), and I've started on the "web". No telling when it'll be done (and then it needs to be mounted), especially if the weather doesn't improve (bad light), and life doesn't stop interfering (lost a lacemaking day yesterday, chauffering DH for medical tests -- routine, but a nuisance)
It's lucky that Betty Ann has kindly offered to do the driving to the Convention; I'll be able to wind the bobbins for my class "en route" (additional bonus: I won't have to look at the horror of driving on 81; I'm sure yesterday has put grey hairs on my head, and ulcers in my stomach)... :)
Now, I am finishing a small mat begun in a course of Punto Fiandra di Gorizia taken at the forum Italia Invita last May. That technique is worked with only three pairs
That's not "Flanders" as *I* know it... <g>
