My problem is that I am not 'naturally' creative and so have to buy 'ready
made'. I really struggle learning to lace make and although I have been
learning for almost a year have just made a couple of Brenda's bookmarks
(rainy bank holiday). These are the first 'finished articles' I have been
able to do. Still practice makes perfect as the saying goes. This time
last year I couldn't do anything at all.

Subject: [lace] RE: roller or block
I have made my own roller pillows and my favourite one is designed by
Britt
in Perth, Western Australia. It packs up to the size of a shoebox yet
holds
my full size midland bobbins perfectly. The great part about making your
own
roller is that you can decide what to make it from. I currently like to
make
the core of the roller from a off cut of a noodle - child's floatation
device that is a long round piece of 'foam'. I then roll layers of carpet
felt around it until it is the right size (about 1.5-2cm thick) so that
the
pins don't actually hit the noodle core. I have no problems with the pin
holes then as the felt is a self healer.
