Hello All! It was an interesting week--with cataract surgery & a near heart attack over Digital Archives, you might think I would be resting & eating bonbons. No--I've been making one-eyed lace! I had promised myself (& Allie M) that I would practice my limited Idrija skills except life intervened last winter. So I seized the day, dug out my bolster & tried a little tree pattern that Allie suggested. It is now finished & posted to Flickr in spite of its many flaws. By the time I realized that I had made an error on the first loop, I was on the next row of tape so decided to improvise rather than unlace. That just compounded the mistake so by the time I came to the last loop, the multiplicity of errors skewed the lace. It is also very difficult to make sewings with impaired depth perception! Long story short, by the time I was done, I was laughing & thinking of Charlie Brown. Good grief! Sincerely, Susan Hottle USA
