Lordy!! And all I can think about is how their backs must have ached!! Every year about this time, we've had a discussion about the question I'm about to raise. Obviously, we could all refer to the archives, but I do think it's timely that we have a new round of discussion regarding ways to survive the long hours at the lace pillow. Whenever I sit at the pillow for long stretches, I end up with muscle spasms in my lower back. (I'm talking multiple days here, as in a long workshop!) Numerous suggestions have been made to avoid this problem. New ideas may have emerged since our last discussion. With IOLI rapidly approaching, it would be a wonderful service to all who are going if we could review the ''best practices" for managing the comfort of our bodies over a long period of lacemaking!! Thanks for all your input!
