I ordered some lace supplies from Makit on Monday, and am impatiently awaiting them... but no chance of getting them until the strike is over. > > Then of course there's another risk - some of the local morons in > Bournemouth blew up a post box and its contents with a firework!!!!

I totally agree about the fireworks - they've been going off around here every night this month, it seems. What with exploding fireworks, a police car siren wailing past a few minutes ago (probably some moron has blown himself up with a firework) and trick-or-treaters ringing the doorbell every few minutes, it's not a peaceful evening - I've given up trying to make lace tonight! There were some copes on display at Alexandra Palace at the Knitting and Stitching Show - no lace, just a lot of ornate embroidery.
