[lace] Re: Miss Channers Mat...

2009-04-16 Thread David in Ballarat

Dear Clay - who's waiting for the postman

I've just seen the latest update from Julian, and your mat is 
growing by leaps and bounds!!!  My dear man - how DO you do 
it???  Specifically, how can you work so many hours at a time and 
not have your back just scream and seize with pain??


I count myself lucky that in all my years of nursing I never once 
felt a twinge in my back. HOWEVER, only 2 weeks ago I did pull 
something in the sacral region but it's slowly improving. I can at 
least take my shoes off now.


When it comes to lace making I would no doubt be rapped over the 
knuckles by most teachers. For I tend to sit very low down (on my 
couch) and lean forward over the lace desk. Somehow or other there;s 
no trouble with spinal aches. I did find that when I sit at a 
normal height my back got tired. Of course I have a very bright 
halogen lamp to help - not to mention the magnifiers :)

For me, light is not a problem (I also have good lamps...) and the Mag 
Eyes make a huge difference when I'm working the really fine stuff...  
It's just the back that gives me fits!
