[lace] Pewter bobbins

[Jean Nathan]

I was given an old wooden bobbin with pewter spots, but one "spot" was 
missing. It was in fact a rod which passed right through the bobbin. Because 
it wasn't valuable, I cut a suitable short length from an aluminium knitting 
needle of the right diameter and tapped that in. Don't think anyone would 
notice that it's aluminium rather than pewter as they are both grey, and the 
bobbin is complete and useable again.
