Hi fellow spiders,
Does anyone have experience making lace in a full arm cast? I broke my
forearm on Sunday. Ice skateing.I had splint that covered my whole hand for 3
days, but now I have a cast with my fingers free. I can't bend my elbow.
I am supposed to do my first lace demonstration
Been there and done that! Twice! Oh Ronna, I really do feel for you.
If you can handle it that would be a grand demo...shows the dedication of
lacers.
About all you can do is work one handed. Doable but slow, and you need lots
of dividers to retain the 'resting' bobbins. I did it but
Hello Ronna,
Sorry to hear you broke your arm.
As for lacemaking, your arm may get tired easily with the heavy
cast...butwith demoing there is always a lot of talking, so you can

Thank you to all that replied - Betty Ann, Barb,
Jacquie, Jane, Noelene and Robin (I hope I didn't miss
anyone). I liked all the ideas. But, since the
friend that I gave the lace to is most likely going to
use it on some of her 1860s dresses or bonnets that
she makes, I thought it wiser to avoid
IOW, the project has to be small not only in the number of pairs, but in
overal length as well, if you want to use it without the spools with
handles.
The spools recieved their handles to avoid touching the thread. Touching
wire is no problem so why not use sewing machine spools? The metal ones
You could also staff a try it pillow, where you tell others to cross
and twist (and which bobbin moves for each).

Hi Ronna and other spiders,
How I feel for you, I broke my arm this time last year and could not find a
way of making lace to my satisfaction (was certainly not through lack of
trying) but I caught up on all the books that I had been meaning to read for
ages.
Hope you didnt invite people for
Today I had a query about whether the pricking for the pattern on the
Lace Guild Advent Calendar for 7th December had printed out at the
correct size. It hadn't and was smaller than it should have been -
this is something that can happen when the browser has 'Shrink pages
to fit' (or something
Robin's suggestion is just PERFECT!! You really will enjoy this role, and
it only takes one hand - if that - to show the way!! Have a wonderful time!
Way to go Robin!
