Hi Spiders, I am struck with amount of energy we pour in to discussing Ms. Channer and her mat. What is it about us as a group that makes this topic so riveting? She was determined to not let lace die, as was Doreen Wright, whom I have begun to know belatedly through your anecdotes. These thoughts are drifting through my mind.
The discussion has wandered to having what we want when we want it. One of my friends has suggested that I use lace to keep sane. Absolutely! It is one of the few things over which I have control. So it IS a control issue, at least for me. Responding to the thread about how much you need to know about the basics of lace before you can branch out, I have to laugh. I am a "How does it work?", "How do I do that?" , "I don't like this bit, what can I do with it?" kind of a person. The mere thought that a teacher would tell me no and get away with it has me in stitches. I believe, out of respect, that I follow the teacher's recommendation during the workshop, but when I get home, all bets are off! I learn something in every workshop, even if it's only that I didn't have as many holes in what I know as I thought I did. But I never did the go to class every week type of tutoring, so maybe I wouldn't be quite so cavalier if I had to face a person week after week.
