Hi All, Yes - I have been away for several weeks, *celebrating* a birthday, and have come home to umpteen weeks of messages - but I had to chuckle when I ready the piece about coloured gimps.
Several years ago, I went on a course in Milanese lace, at Christine and David Springetts, and my chosen pattern was the 'Little Hearts'. I wound the bobbins and, as I thought that a pale pink gimp would look well with the ecru lace, I wound several pairs of said pink gimp. All went well, until the pairs for the gimp were needed. I rummaged in my box for the first pair - and retrieved them, just as Pat Bury looked at me. "I do hope that's not for the Milanese lace." she said. "Perish the thought!" I said, as I rummaged in my friend's box for Perle in cream! I must admit, it was quite a while before I did use colour in Milanese after that - but now I tend to do what pleases me, not what is probably the 'traditional' way to do it!
