Thanks everybody very, very much for all the advice about moving lace. I have to admit the thought is scaring me, I'm sure once I tackle it I will feel better, and I also know that I need to be in the right frame of mind to attempt this. I am thinking of next Sunday which is my next free time during daylight hours (always a good plan). Mind, this is one of those times when it would sure be nice to have someone standing behind me to provide support! I am contemplating practising first on a short and simple piece that won't matter so much if I make a botch of it. And in the meantime I'd already thought to extend the pillow so that will help too.
Fortunately I have four corners to turn before I have to think about sewing the edges together, so I can read up on this and maybe practise a bit first. Sounds like I can use that same practise piece the same way! Noelene asked whether I use a crochet hook (yes) or a lazy susan (never even heard of one). Perhaps someone could enlighten me? And now I realise that just because I can make an edging on a 19" cookie, that doesn't mean I can't get a larger pillow and a block pillow and a roller pillow at some point too. I thought it would be extravagant for the lace I've made so far. How cool to find that this would actually be useful and make things easier! I should have been looking closer at other peoples' stuff when I was in Victoria to get ideas - next time. No messages from Clay this week which I think means she's already on her Alaska cruise. Disappointingly the weather has turned cool (cold to most of you) and wet up here so I hope she has luck on her trip.
