Dear Sue, et al,
Training a DH can take a while. Much depends on prior training and what's
in it for him. My DH has a similar passion, but his is trains. So there is a
quid pro quo going on. When we drove through Sweden, I had a list of model
train stores, and a list of lace places. That way no one could complain too
much. And you get to see places you wouldn't otherwise. And I had my knitting
whilst waiting. He had a book. Next year I hope to drag him AND the dog to
Ithaca, as it is beautiful, and there are things for him and the dog to do
while I'm learning lace. On the other hand, I still see him bite his tongue
from time to time.
As the Famous Gerry said at an Ithaca Lace Day Banquet, "You know you're a lace
widower if she disappears for a weekend and comes home with a scrap of lace the
size of a postage stamp."
