Hi Arachnids Talking of disasters, I have just taken the last piece of lace for my new book off the pillow and as I removed the cover cloth in which the lace was rolled I found a large hole in the pricking. During the recent cold weather we have had an open wood fire. I remember the fire spitting but I did not see where the ember went; it had lodged between the pricking and the cover cloth while I was making the lace and I didn't even notice it. Fortunately it burned into the pricking and polystyrene tile, which had a hole 1/2 inch deep, rather than into the cloth and lace. So please take care when making lace in front of an open wood fire.
Am I disaster prone? Happy and safe lacemaking Alex - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected]. For help, write to [email protected]. Photo site: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacemaker/sets/
