Robin, I couldn't agree more about the rudeness of just the occasional rare lacemaker who puts others off making lace. A met a lady recently who had just sold her pillow, bobbins and the couple of books she had because of such a remark I'm attempting now to get her interested again - she has one arthritic hand, and I'm introducing her to the square bobbins which are bigger and easier to hold.
But somehow I don't think any Arachne spider would be guilty of such a remark! Maybe a good dose of supporting, friendly internet chatter would do wet blanket "lace police" the world of good. Noelene in Cooma Very thankful for all that Arachne spiders taught me when I was just learning, and continue to teach me.
