Jean, It has been a rather serious, busy morning. I stopped to read your email about the spangles/tracking threads and the chuckle relieved my tensions...in fact I Ha-Haed out loud. Thanks, I needed that.
Susie Johnson Morris, Illinois Where the sun has finally come out to bless the day! Jean said.... I've just been eating tea while watching a rerun of the "Flog It!" programme in which the so-called expert Jethro Marle identified bone bobbins as ivory, and when this was pointed out to him through emails to the BBC, responded with "I think I know ivory when I see it." I was obviously so aghast at the time that I didn't notice that he said if you watch lacemakers, it's very intricate so they use the spangles on the ends of the bobbins to identify which threads are to be used in which part of the work! You might be able to track them with about 20 on, but I like to see him do that with 60 pairs, or, indeed what does he think Honiton and Continental lacemakers do?
