After two months of not making any lace (mostly due to the difficulty of getting lace stand close enough due to legs and having to get my DH to lift in and out of the cupboard, and find everything else I might need as well as all the other things he needed to do instead of me, or for me, <g>), but as I am now managing to get about with one of the crutches or none so was able to drag out my lightest pillow and put together things to take away with me this weekend. I spent an evening plus a couple of hours the next morning finishing winding bobbins and working one of my small pieces. Apart from the fact that I am not really happy with the dark dull thread I used, what I found incredibly difficult was working away from home where I use my angle poise lamp all the time. I need a lamp whatever colour I use, but certainly was needed for dark green, :-( We have limited space in our trailer caravan also often without mains electric so now I am on a quest to find a suitable lightweight lamp to use in future. I found an advert for a clamp on one which would do, but would prefer something I can maybe pin to my pillow, so wonder what others in the UK use?
