I don't think any of us were carping. i agree with your comments entirely. It made for a good topic of discussion with my students this morning, and I know some of them learned from it.
Wouldn't it be lovely to see Ruby practising at her lace pillow in the evenings while Pearl is busy fawning over the lodger ;o) Claire Allen www.bonitocrafts.co.uk Crafty stuff I want to show off.

I'm fully aware that we should be pleased that lacemaking was shown - in fact my last sentence was "I'm sure there are others, but it was so nice to see bobbin lacemaking getting such a good airing on TV." > > I know that many lacemakers in other countries are interested in 'Larkrise to Candleford' and especially in the fact that one of the characters was a lacemaker. That's why I put the screenshots on Arachne webshot so that they can see some of what we saw. As a lacemaker it would be wrong to ignore the errors - those of us who've been lacemaking for some time would notice them anyway and those who haven't might have learnt something. I'm always willing to learn and would have been pleased if the anomalies had been pointed out if I didn't know them. It certainly isn't niggling or carping - it provides a basis for discussion. > - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
