Hi to the Rock Band (Tamara and the Spiders!) Talking about magnifiers, my husband, several Christmases ago, in an inspired moment, bought me one of those magnifying lamps - and even completed the gift with a plug on the end of the wires! It is absolutely brilliant - makes even the thinnest thread look like rope, but I tend only to use the magnifying bit for unpicking something really intricate, or to try and work out how some of my antique lace has been made! One of the reasons may be that I don't clean the magnifying bit often enough, so when I do look through it, the film of dust makes everything seem to be in a sort of misty, ethereal glow - but like everyone has said, I also prefer to use my eyes rather than the magnifier for my lace and fine handicrafts.
But the lamp, especially with the daylight bulbs, is certainly worth its weight in gold - even if the magnifier bit doesn't get used an awful lot.
