I started lace in the early 90s with the dreaded Dryad kit and plastic bobbins.
Tried to teach myself, and asked husband to make me some decent bobbins, which he did. I did not do a lot of lace as I was still teaching foreign languages and English, but when they closed our department down, I really got into it and a local friend pointed me to Arachne. Since then there is no stopping me, even though I still don't have a lot of time as I still teach privately and do translation/interpreting work. Through eBay I found a local woman I'd known for years, but did not know that she had started making bobbin lace. She told me of a lace group in Hull, and about Arachne. I don't post often, but read all the messages and advice, and found "soul mates" all over. I wish Arachne and all its members a long live and keep the chat and tips coming.
