To Nancy Nicholson, Dundee-- Please don't go back into hiding! If we were all lurkers there would be no list to read, - would there?!!
We were all beginners at one stage, but that is no reason to only read, and not participate. Even asking a question will start a new thread, and be of interest to others. Remember - No question is dumb or silly. We are all here to help each other, and if you are having a problem with any lacemaking, - well, ask the List - there will always be someone who has tried that pattern, and can help you! We all love helping each other, especially people new to lacemaking, and seeing them progress through the months and years gives us great pleasure. A lady on this list (and she will know who she is!) lives in a more remote area of Australia, and with some help from the Aussie chat list, is now, after about 2 years, a most prolific lacemaker, who does beautiful lace, and designs her own, etc. She also turns bobbins, and does so many other things, that I feel exhausted just reading about her activities!!!!!!!! :)) Watching her early efforts, and how her lacemaking has "bloomed" has given us so much pleasure, so please, new-comers, share your struggles (and I know how hard it can be at the beginning) with us, and let us help you where we can. However, if you don't chat on the list, - we don't know who or where you are, and what help you need. Regards from Liz in Melbourne, Oz.
