Dear Newcomers to lace, I think everyone on arachne will agree with me when I say that Please Be Careful of your posture when lace making. Work in a confortable chair and make sure your pillow is at the right height for you. You can use a table or have the pillow on your lap ( like I do). What ever is comfortable for you. It's all too easy to get so occupied with the fun of making lace that you forget to keep a straight back and a good posture. Also get up every half hour or so to walk around/ drink water. Exercise your eyes (focus at objects at different distances from you) as well.
Make a habit of this right from the very start. That way you will enjoy many more years of comfortable lacemaking ! I'm sorry if I am repeating what someone has already pointed out. Also, there are*lots* of second hand lace books available on the Internet. Most of my books are secondhand, since I have limited purchasing capacity. Lace makers are all very careful people, so I found all my used books to be in excellant condition <g>. Enjoy . . . .
