Gentle Spiders, A recent request for beginner lesson projects reminded me of my intention to post a resource I put together a while ago.
I had tried bracelets, bandages, and snakes in demonstrations before, and noticed that, in the first place, relatively few people could take the time to complete one in most demonstration situations, and, second, that if one person did take the time to complete one, it tied up the pillow for a long time, making it unavailable for others. I wanted more people to have the satisfaction of taking away a completed project. I beheaded the snake, turning it into a fish. This worked spectacularly; it took most kids at the demo where I tested it between 20 and 45 minutes to complete one fish. Using a large pillow owned by Lacemakers of Puget Sound, I put together a have-a-go kit that members could check out to use at demonstrations. Part of that kit is a notebook with the pattern, suggestions, and tips and tools for demonstrators. The file for that notebook is now posted on my website, available to anyone who might find it useful: http://weft.wlonk.com --Julie E. in Seattle - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
