Hi Alice, et al, I heartily agree about the speediness of lace - or lack thereof!
When I was teaching textiles at a local private school, I ran a Lace Club after school, which was very popular (but maybe the biscuits and drinks had something to do with that ...) and the children, aged from about six/seven years, were very enthusiastic. But what used to annoy me intensely was the parent or guardian who would come in, glance at the lace made, and then say very disparagingly "Oooh - is that *all* you've done tonight." Being a private school, they were paying a lot for the privilege of their children attending all the extra-curricular classes, so maybe they measured the success of each class by the mileage made, goals scored, chords learned etc.! I still tell my students - children and adults - that it is excellence we are aiming for, *not* yardage! Carol - in Suffolk UK - hot and sunny, with a little more breeze than yesterday. The thunder storms haven't arrived here, but my thoughts are with those in Yorkshire who were flooded over the weekend. > Before you get too bothered, remember a couple things.
