Hello everyone I hope everyone has a wonderful time on their lace travels - it seems quite a number of arachnes are 'abroad' or doing so sometime this season. Send reports! I know you will. Meanwhile, for those of us at-home, I think it is time for another informal survey. This one is:
What lace(s) are you working on now? Maybe don't list all the ones you have in progress (unless you want to) - this survey is for the projects you are doing *right now* - short and sweet? ok - I'll begin - last night I borrowed DH's new hobby magnifiers (the plastic hat-band style) and joyfully (because I could see to do so) put pins in the Spring picture from Further Steps in Honiton Lace. That project 'for now' has brevity - it will joins its sister pillows in storage, waiting for ambition, 'round tuits, and other necessary willful ingredients. What I am really doing 'now' is the butterfly from 75 Quick and Easies, in Valdani variegated thread, colour 'deep waters' - it is working up lovely, esp. with the two gold threads that ended up begin paired with variegated (when I hung on the loops to start, I forgot I had an uneven number - but I rather like the effect of the gold more intermingled with the variegated). I lucked into a sale of the Valdani, which might have numbered days - I had bought it from aquilt shop, but they told me they won't stock it again because of slubs. Yes, it has slubs - but otherwise is a lovely thread to work with. I can see that the slubbing would cause problems for machine embroidery/quilting. Do, please, respond to the survey. I might compile something eventually, or not <g - it is informal> -- bye for now Bev in Sooke, BC (west coast of Canada) - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
