Thanks for the advice, Rosemary. I found a wool blanket I forgot I had, and have rolled that up for a temporary pillow. Once I decide on the best size for me, I'll re-wrap and cover for a permanent pillow.
I made a pincushion of sawdust earlier, and haven't noticed any rust. yet. I will keep my eyes open, and change pincushions as soon as I see any rust! Thanks again! Lenore http://tatt3r-lace.blogspot.com On 7/28/06, Rosemary Naish <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Lenore, You mentioned using sawdust - please don't - I did once and a) it's very heavy and b) even worse it seemed to act as a dehumidifier to the extent that my pins went rusty and I got rust on my lace, and rust never ever comes out! The idea of using old jumpers from a charity/thrift shop is good, I've used them as a cheap way to pad other things and find that washed in a hot wash so that they shrink they become quite compact and will hold pins better. Rosemary, still melting in Somerset.
