Dear Friends, I am now home in Ballarat from Vietnam and yesterday watched the final 3 episodes of Call the Midwife (series 2). After they had been s accurate with all aspects of the 50s, I was amazed to see that when the elderly nun began knitting her squares for a blanket, it was

Dear Susan, Size of hole? Size of total lace piece? There is not enough information given! Repairing old lace is quite a problem. Without holding damaged old lace in the hand, an expert will have a hard time deciding the best approach. It has to be determined if a mend will create

It is amazing! But I am sure that a very low percentage of watchers found out the difference! Don't you think so too? Best wishes from Antje in Spain, where spring does not want to settle down. Antje * * *Photography is like life... you can change perspective by changing your point of view! *

This episode was shown on our local PBS station last weekend. I saw the crocheted granny squares when they were stitching them together into the blanket. I didn't notice them knitting the crochet though. Well spotted. Wonderful show for oldies who remember the era, but a bit frightening to

Dear David, Welcome home. I went back and watched that episode of Call the Midwife to see the anomaly. It is true that the finished blanket was all granny squares, but if you look at the two midwives near the phone, they are knitting what appears to be garter stitch squares, and matching the

Finally had a chance to sit down and comment on this past week's thread on Kindles. Love my Kindle because I have problems with my neck, and carrying large, heavy books around makes it hurt.  I have the old keyboard style.  Haven't upgraded to Fire and don't have a tablet, so I can't vouch

Glad to see you are back home, safe and sound, David. Did you manage to get any of the silk thread you were looking for? My thoughts go out to all those who have lost homes etc in Oklahoma city. We see terrible footage on the TV news of the devastation. I cannot imagine what it must be like to
