Hi All, Came across the following listing on ebay today - anyone know
what sort of lace they were used to make.

The long thin things look rather like fancy cocktail sticks - belied by
the fancy images around the photo, and with damaged ends to boot!
Many years ago I needed a couple of extra pairs to get around a corner,
and wanted them *now* couldn't wait for mail order so I used some
little plastic cocktail forks (2 prongs) with handles very similar to
these. I used a hot knife to 'weld' the ends of the prongs together so
that I could add a spangle and hey presto improvised bobbins!
As for the two round items, I suppose you could lay one on top of a BL
pillow, stick pins in the holes and use it to make Tenneriffe/Sol lace
