~~~~snip~~~~ Good time to redraft that old pattern I want to work. And make plans. Got to have some lace in my days. <G> Alice in Oregon
Dear Alice, You will be making lace by next year or sooner. There are good one handed lacemakers, so leap out there and let the other hand play for both. Bobbin lacemakers are ambidextrous anyway. Courage dear buddy. One of my woodwind musician buddies did a similar slip and fall, and made confetti out of her wrist. It was pinned as is yours, and she wore a wierd "tinkertoy appliance" for a very long time. She has recovered and is back to full mobility, winning music competitions, and playing professionally. It will take longer to heal than you think it should, but the end result is very good. Modern bone surgeons have good techniques that were never thought of years ago. Her biggest annoyance was keeping the wrist warm through the winter, with all that metal screwed right to the bone. I made her a T shaped coat with big open sleeves out of a Queen size bedquilt. The sleeve for that arm had an extra long section that could be velcro-ed closed. More velcro for the front closure so she could dress herself. A seperate mitt made of curly synthetic fleece provided cushion too. She wore that in the house, and had a sequin one for the holiday parties. :))) Sounds like you could use some theatrical coverage makeup to make you feel more Holiday than Halloween. You could flit through the party season with glitter cheeks like the Sugar Plum Fairy. :) What a good idea for a contest..... one handed bobbin lace!
