But, I'm in good company when it comes silly mistakes... :)
When Jill Treeves (she who signs "at Heathrow, near London") visited here, I gave her one of my Windrose I "baubles" as a souvenir. At the time, stuffed to the gills with cold, I didn't think to offer the *pattern* as well (usually of more interest to most lacemakers; it's more fun to make than to receive <g>). But, in the follow up correspondence, I did offer it, thinking she might like it. She sounded eager, so I started looking for the relevant issue of the IOLI Bulletin; I'm not the best of housekeepers, and not all of the magazines are filed in their proper places as yet.
The most recent issue of the Bulletin was one of the unfiled ones, and came to hand first. Since it had Windrose II in it, all I had to do was to check the volume and issue number to find out where the Windrose I was (the one before). Windrose II is in vol. 24, #4, so off I go to the files, and piull out vol. 24, #3.
And Windrose I isn't in it! What the... Halloween is long past, so how come my Windrose I has been tricked away? I know I've seen the Bulletin with it published... Finally, I locate the issue with Windrose I (different pile of unfiled magazines <g>). It's vol. 24, #4... :)
There *is* a difference between the two "not quite twins": one's vol. 24, #4, Summer 2004, the other is vol. 24, #4 Fall 2004. It is quite obvious that gremlins don't work to union hours... :)
