Hello all,
Here in Spain, we work since ever hands-up, on a firm long pillow, or a

Someone (I'm sorry I can't remember who as I've ditched the digest

Dear Alice: a PS
Don't try too many bobbins on a cookie, I wouldn't know how to stack them.
Pick also your smallest cookie as you better get your fingers behind the
