She sounds enthusiastic and seems to have taken to it like a duck to water. It must be very satisfying to have a student so keen to learn, and your enthusiasm to teach comes through in your email; I'm sure she's picked up on that. I'm at a similar stage, having only been a lacemaker for 3 months (i thought it was longer, but I've just checked) and I'm loving discovering new stitches and trying to work out how to put them together - I don't have a teacher, so I'm working from books and the internet. I've just set myself the challenge of making the edging by Anita Wilkinson from the Lacer Society's November 2008 issue and am having fun working out which parts to make first, how to get the threads coming out in the right place to make the next element etc. I'm very greateful for the people on this list who discussed 'fudging' recently. I've had to add bobbins in what are probably unconventional places to make it work but feel that this is OK and not a 'mistake'.
Wish her 'happy lacemaking' from me. Regards Lesley - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected]. For help, write to [email protected]
