Hello All! I've been following the digest the last several weeks but haven't been able to make lace since the 1st week of Nov. when I broke the ring finger on my right hand. Nasty spiral fracture, stainless steel pins just recently removed & still can't close my hand. So I must enjoy your lacemaking activities instead of my own! Please keep up the good work with juicy details!! I wanted to ask about the mangling & whether the process could include the use of an Iron-Rite (sp?)?? I see them for sale (used) in thrift shops from time to time. My granny had one when I was little & it was used to press all sorts of cotton & linen items on a roller-type machine with a foot peddle to open the contraption. She always used a linen tablecloth--those were the days! As to bobbin storage, maybe I'm too simplistic but, I use small wooden cigar boxes. Many are just the "right" size for various types of bobbins & at $2-$3 each they are fun to collect & some are so beautifully decor ated they are works of art themselves. Susan, E-e-erie, PA, now licking my wounds on Grassy Key (MM58) where it was 83 & sunny today & chocolate covered frozen key lime pie on a stick is part of the therapy ;-)
