Thanks for all the suggestions. I actually put the book in our outside screen porch and forgot about it for a few days. It still smells bad but I have stood it up on a table and opened the pages up. If we start getting more humid days I will bring it in and store it with some kitty litter unless I can beg some charcoal from someone. We gave our grill to DS last summer as I now grill on a Cuisinart electric grill.
Yesterday I had 6 new lace students. Three finished the butterfly project. Two had to leave early and finished one side and one was a little slow, probably due to her age and forgetfulness. I haven't given up on her and as she is a friend she can come to my house for more instruction. Several in the class came from other States such as Michigan, Indiana and Wisconsin. A couple of them were younger, probably in their thirties which is encouraging. One of those joined the guild and I hope she keeps coming so we can nurture her interest in lace. Although I was dead beat after yesterday, I still enjoyed today when my other guild had a class in Viking knitting with Tracy Jackson (The Lacemaker). I actually completed a spiral bracelet in purple and red, not realising they are Red Hat colors until I was well on with it. I had bought the kit last year but not got round to trying it. I have visions of all my female relatives getting them for Christmas gifts this year.
