In a room full of lacemaking equipment, there will be mostly women,
and some men. Likewise some of the men will be bored, some will be
quite interested because they, too, are lacemakers, and the rest will
be thinking of ways to sneak back to the fly-fishing room.

Hi Nova,
Who has the hackle pliers, and who borrows them?
It's a two-way street - my DH gazes over my lacemaking tools, silk threads
and magnifier/light and voices a wish to *borrow* for his fly-tying
project. (lol)

I took up lacemaking before he discovered fly tying so they were *mine*

Hmmm. Perhaps Santa will deliver another pair ( ummm is hackle
