Dear Debbie, Some lacemakers take other crafts to do when away from home - but for those of us who just can't survive without our daily dose of lacemaking, there are smaller pillows, some of which fold up into the size and shape of an average-size handbag, which are called travel pillows.
Most of these smaller pillows are only suitable for doing straight lengths of lace, rather than collars or squares etc., and the size of the working area, such as a roller, also limit the width of the piece which can be made on them, but its quite possible to work a piece of lace 2 or 3 inches wide on most of them. You might also see that some suppliers sell what are known as "travel bobbins" - they are smaller than usual, and made especially for use on the smaller travel pillows. Kind regards, Ruth Budge (Sydney, Australia) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:Anyway, what I'm curious about is those of you that are exclusively fine lacemakers. My impression is that lace pillows/rolls are heavy and bulky. When you travel, what do you take along that is reasonable portable? Thanks again for enhancing my learning experience.
