Carol - what a shame that happened to you. I hope you can get the rest of
the 'mess' sorted out with no broken threads etc.
I had an incident, but with no malicious intent, when I was making lace at
an old heritage farm - 1850's houses with earth and straw floors. I had
temporarily put my pillow on my chair while I stretched and had turned away
to look at someone else's lace. There were no visitors in the farmhouse at
the time. While my back was turned, a little boy of about 6 came in and
walked over to look at my pillow. He put his hands on the front corners of
the pillow and leaned over. Of course, the pillow flipped over and landed
face down in the straw. The look on the kidlet's face was a picture of
horror and alarm, especially as his mum came in just at that moment.
I did Jacquie's trick of holding the pillow upside down while the bobbins
untangle themselves and then carefully tipped it flat again. Luckily there
were no broken bobbins or threads.
Malvary in Ottawa where it is only -5c with windchill of -12c today.
