Dear Ayla, and other newbies to the list... When I first joined Arachne, I had only been making lace for about six weeks! However, I had a medical crisis that confined me for another six weeks, so I could not go to guild meetings to continue my lessons. (Note to guilds... Have an outreach volunteer for just such an emergency!).
However, after going on-line and discovering Arachne, I posted, had an avalanche of responses, made a dear friend of another (seasoned) lacemaker merely 40 miles away (over the mountain), received tons if help, and the rest is history! This list is definitely a huge boost to newcomers... But only if you post! Be careful not to reveal email address or mailing address in a post to the list, but if you give a general region and the country you're in, then chances are you can eventually find a mentor, as I did. Thanks, Tamara Duvall!
