Hi, I'm slowly progressing with my longest running UFO - pattern no 8 from Syllabus Grof (Brugs) Bloemwerk by Sonia Vanoosterwijck, that's the Bruges mat on the cover - which I started on 1/1/2000. I did a bit of the middle motif that year and for one reason or other shelved it but have now finished the middle motif and an working the flowers etc that surround it. I'm doing it in Bockens 50/2 linen in white. I've just been working in daylight for the first time and noticed a difference in the lace I made 5 years ago and the flower I just finished. The new flower is bright white and the older lace is not, I'd say it has a creamier colour now, not yellowish though. Would that be an oxidation/natural aging process do you think? It was covered well when I wasn't working on it so I'm assuming it's not exposure to light. I'm hoping that as I work it -maybe finishing it at some point<g> all the thread will end up the same shade. It's not nearly obvious enough for me to abandon it but I'm curious. jenny barron Scotland
