I think that a fantastic use of time. Being amongst friends too, starting
slowly they will have seen more than struggling alone at home, or just
looking and passing on to another pattern. Certainly empowering people to
see more and learn more. Confidence makes a huge difference too.
I downloaded those free motif libraries from your site some while ago and it
made a huge difference to my putting together new baubles, from christmas
one to the next year even. Picking up and useing patterns I have altered
some right from a year after I began when I made a jabot for my husband
using the pattern from the 75 quick and easy bobbin lace patterns by
Veronica Sorenson.
Talking about patterns, did we ever get to receive the arachne christmas
exchange patterns this year? My computer has been playing up for many
weeks (although I think we may have finally sorted it out:-) and dont
remember seeing them?
I hope the lace and the cat survive the fallen pillow.....

This is one thing I had recently discussed with the Kununurra Lace Group
as
over 50% said that they could not read a pricking without a picture of the
finished lace. These ladies have less than 2 years experience each.
The one thing they had not realised was that elements can be changed by
the
lace maker to make a different piece of lace. Eg: a 6x6 pin area could
hold
a multitude of elements and changing a pattern is not a crime.
Was that hand holding? I don't think so! I consider it EMPOWERING the
individual.
