Thank you! I'm always pleased when people enjoy my work. If you're curious about trying wire lace, I'd suggest just getting some very fine wire (0.2mm or smaller--my favorite size is about 0.175mm) and wind it on your ordinary bobbins--while I don't use midlands, I've taught wire lace to several people who do and they found no problem using them. Then try doing a very simple pattern that has about 10 pins per inch of footside and see how you like it. That was how I got started! Sometimes I think people get put off trying wire lace because they think it requires a lot of special equipment....
Best wishes to all, Sue in Raleigh, NC (where it's been a good deal warmer than in Norfolk, but we're still expecting a hard freeze over the weekend!)
