Hi All,

The thing I have missed most since being 'retired' is the photocopier! I temped, and several of the people I worked for were amazed that I wanted to copy so many 'dotty pieces of paper' - but they were very obliging, and mostly let me do it!

However, I bought an Elizabeth Burgess pattern - a round mat - very recently, and it had just one-third of the pattern on the sheet - it had to be photocopied three times, and the bits stuck together, to make the pricking. The scanning and copying was easy, but the fitting together was most definitely not, as I think the copying distorted the pricking - only very slightly, but enough to be a nuisance when putting the three peices together! I managed, with a bit of 'fudging', but it made me realise how difficult it is to copy things, and how many things really do need 'trueing up' before embarking on the patterns.
