[lace] pins

2014-03-23 Thread Alex Stillwell
Hi Arachnids

I have been using the Watkins  Doncaster stainless steel pins no.0. They are
the finest I have used and, although they are very long I have had no trouble
with them bending as they are very sharp and pass into the pillow easily.  I
also purchased nos. 00 and 000, two sizes finer. I will let you know how I get
on with them.

Happy lacemaking

Alex

Re: [lace-chat] daffodils are blooming!

I didn't see any bulbs coming up as our beds still have snow cover, but
driving down to Hilton Head it was nice to see the trees in bloom and to enjoy
warmer weather even though the sun was not out.  This morning it is thick fog!
 Hopefully the sun will come out but rain is expected in the late afternoon.

snow on
the north facing flower beds

Just got back, last night, from a week's vacation in Jamaica where it was 
+28c.  Here it was -25c with wind chill and snowing.  Another 15cm or so 
yesterday to give us almost 2.5 metres so far this winter.  Probably still 2 
foot of snow with 3-4 foot snow banks.  I think there are daffodils, tulips 
and crocuses under there somewhere.


Malvary in Ottawa where it is bright and sunny and -12c.
