Hallo Jen and all spiders, My lace tutor taught us how to make a small pillow for needle lace that I have found very useful although my first love is BL. Find a piece of rigid tube ( I got a piece from the carpet shop it is the centre that the carpets are rolled onto) mine was 3inches across cut to 9inches long. lightly pad it with felt or something of that thickness and cover with a material similar to what you would cover a bobbin lace pillow i.e. lint free. Make it slightly longer than the roll so that you can tuck the ends into the roll to get them out of the way. You can then hold your work on it with a piece of elastic both ends, this makes a comfortable small pillow that sits on your lap or can be held in the hand whichever you find more comfortable for working. Sue M Harvey Norfolk UK Just managed to prick out Bridget Cooks small fan pattern and wound bobbins in readiness for when the cast comes off my arm next Tuesday.. Yippee.
