Ronna...me again. I forgot to mention that instead of divider pins (unless I
am stacking bobbins), ages ago I bought some of the white rubber
erasers...you know, the oblong ones. I found these invaluable working with
one hand..for keeping the bobbins in place while I fiddled with the other
bobbins....it seems that I ran out of hands!!!! And they are easier to work
around than the pins, until you get a free hand;-)
As I remember, this idea started at Doris Southard's house.....she needed to
separate some bobbins and picked up the first thing she saw....which was a
piece of beeswax. Worked just fine. Elaborating on that I bought some
erasers (total of 4) and these little blocks are just fine...and fewer pin
holes in the pillows!
Practice...keep those damaged fingers lazy and work that other hand.
Shucks, people play the piano with one hand....music written just for the
purpose.
Hope this helps,
BarbE

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.
