Dear Spiders
This a sort of partial defence of the UK kit that has a foam cylinder
and some nasty nylon fabric to cover it with. I bought a kit, from House
of Crafts I think, and a Dryad kit from ebay because I wanted to learn
to make lace. I couldn't make any sense of the instructions to set up
the cylinder in the box to make a roller and the polystyrene foam hardly
held the pins but the Dryad instructions left me with a couple of inches
of scrappy grey bandage and no encouragement. The kit that sounds like
the UK version you describe had good working instructions and, wow!,
coloured threads so I combined the Dryad pillow with it and had a jolly
bookmark and a card topper in hardly any time at all.
I know there are some what ifs in that story and you wouldn't buy 2 kits
new, there is definitely a need for a decent starter kit out there, but
here I am making lace and loving it!
I love reading the all the good advice and faithfully follow the links
to the pictures even tho' I stay pretty quiet. Thankyou Spiders!
