A single bedspread? A throw? Cot blanket? Pram blanket? Something to keep your knees and feet warm in the winter? A long time ago, when my children were small, I made three bedspreads, in squares, in colours to suit each child. One was in blues and greens, one in browns and oranges and the third one was red, with two adjacent stripes in white, to signify the Number 11 that was used by George Best. The blue and green one became infested with cat fleas while the cats were in a cattery, and my daughter put the bedspread into a boil wash, to destroy the fleas. Unfortunately, it was pure wool, so the result was tragic!

My best (worst?) UFO is the crochet lace bedspread I started making in my teens (I can't remember exactly what year but it must have been about 1976/77), which has been sitting upstairs in a cupboard for the last twenty years, since I discovered bobbin lacemaking (we all use duvets now anyway). Maybe I should get it out and do a bit more. Mind you,I don't have enough thread to finish it, and don't know whether that particular shade of variegated blue is still available -can anyone think of a use for half a bedspread? > Beth - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
