Been there and done that! Twice!!!!! Oh Ronna, I really do feel for you.
If you can handle it that would be a grand demo...shows the dedication of
lacers.
About all you can do is work one handed. Doable but slow, and you need lots
of dividers to retain the 'resting' bobbins. I did it but only to see if I
still could. Last time,I broke my right arm.....so my left had to do the
work. I got pretty good at one handed t & c, then had to set down the
bobbins and do the pinning! I did not try any picots!;-) You can laugh at
yourself , with the crowd, and make little jokes about how easy it is with
two hands.
Now one handed tatting......that is hard, but also doable.
I know this is not a laughing matter, and it will go away. Let us know how
things go for you.
I can just see three lacers industriously making lace and one with her arm in
a cast.If you feel well enough it will be a hoot.
My worry...it will be a long day.......you take care of you!
Now to write to family way up there in Broken Bow;-)
Fondly

Subject: [lace] lacemaking with limitations
Hi fellow spiders,
Does anyone have experience making lace in a full arm cast? I broke my
forearm on Sunday. Ice skateing.I had splint that covered my whole hand for 3
days, but now I have a cast with my fingers free. I can't bend my elbow.
I am supposed to do my first lace demonstration on the 18th. I am hoping I
will still be able to do so. I won't be alone, there are at least three of us
sceduled to demonstrate that day.
I plan to try to make lace this weekend, if my finger pain is decreased by
then.
Any ideas, suggestions? I am told my wrist will not bend well for some
time after the cast is off, not at all a pleasant thought.
Ronna, in Omaha Nebraska - snowy and fridged.
