One of my many weaknesses is books, and I have never seen mention of a ghost
pillow. But when 8 out of 8 people in a Flanders class are using them, it's
time to sit up and take notice. I use them in Binche all the time. Perhaps
in 20 years I won't need to, but by then I'll be 87, and my eyes may not be
up to making lace. It is a very helpful thing. I began using a ghost
pillow when I used post-it arrows to point to where I was in a Flanders
handkerchief which was way above my skill level. It was the only way I
could keep track of things.
A ghost pillow/voodoo board is made by putting your diagram, however large
you want it, on something that accepts pins. I use my pricking cork board.
Use whatever pins you prefer, whatever system works for you.

So I looked up ghost pillow and nothing surfaced. Is this term in any
instruction book? Perhaps a photo would be helpful.
I do colour codes on an enlarged diagram of the pricking on my pillow. This
seems to help. It's only for the tricky parts, esp when there's a forest of
many pins and best not to undo rows of finished work. Does anyone else do
this?
Thanks,
