..."A visitor asked me what had been used for bobbins before we had plastic."
Oh dear!!!!!!!!!! :( and Bone bobbins look SO nice on a pillow, too!!!!! I hope you wern't too rude, Devon!!!!!!!!! :) Alex - I am with you all the way - re colouring and marking your prickings to help make the lace enjoyable, not a hassle. I colour mark my prickings as much as I think necessary. One Lace Day, many years ago, a lady sneered at me for having coloured marks on the pricking "She did not need such things" - However, when I saw her making lace - she had a whole lot of "Memory Pins" dotted around - to remind her which were workers, and which were passives, etc. -------- I was Much too polite to sneer back, that I did not need those, - but I thought it!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)) Ah well!! It is the differences that make life so interesting, isn't it, rather than the sameness!!!!!!!! :) Go with Whatever Works!!
