I like to take my lace with me on vacation. I have a project for travel, on
an ethafoam pillow, one that preferably fits in a backpack, certainly in a
suitcase. I find that whilst on vacation, I have the chunk of time I prefer to
actually sit down and make lace. I have done lace by the pool on a cruise
ship, especially nice, but don't get a tall gin and tonic, as you'll make
mistakes.
I also took my lace whilst camping at Acadia National Park in Maine, US,
where I took pictures of all the places I made lace, and breathtakingly
beautiful they are, too. Also one on the Common in Bar Harbor, where I have a
picture of a man taking a picture of me making lace. If you want to raise
consciousness about making lace, a very important concept in the US, where you
also need a small sign saying, "This is NOT tatting," doing it on vacation, in
leisure places where people have the time to stop and ask questions is very
efficient. One man thought I was tying flies for fishing. I find there is
something special about making lace in special places. The only drawback is
that you don't get much lacemaking done, unless you're in a secluded spot, like
the bottom of Long Pond in Acadia National Park, where there are few people. I
will never forget that beautiful afternoon. lrb
