Hi Andy, Welcome to Arachne! I too joined (9 years ago!) before I started bobbin lace. I live in a small town in Australia, no lace teachers, so I taught myself from a book and got (and still get) lots of help from the list over the years.
Please consult us before you purchase any equipment - there are a couple of things to be warned about, like a "horror" kit for beginners which should be avoided at all costs! Perhaps there is a member already in your area who might be able to help get you started. >From the signature line on your email, you sound like the kind of person who >will enjoy this group a lot!
