Great idea Liz, I might have to work on my skills with a roller pillow. I
have a small one for my small block pillow but have tried it a couple of
times but much prefer the flat blocks, it feels really unnatural to me at
the moment.. I have taken that particular pillow with me lots of times and
actually might take that again this time. I got inspired on a couple of
small things I could work while away and now our itenary is coming clearer
there should be enough evenings for me to work an hour or two at a time,
making it worth the space and effort to pack all the bits. I had been
thinking of a longer straight piece of lace but there is nothing in the
pipeline at the moment.
Thank you for your suggestion. Now I might have to practise with the roller
and see if I can make it work, I know lots of you use them.
Do you work the bit at the top of the roller or slightly forward of that
mark?
Just to show you how ignorant I am on roller, before I started taking
lessons we visited the lace shop in honiton and spent birthday money on a
roller thing!! No idea how it was meant to work or even if it was for
bobbin lace or another type?
Perhaps I ought to take a photo of it (it still lives in the back of my
cupboard and has never been used), some of you are bound to know, LOL.

Sue T. you obviously need a small travel pillow! Mine is the size of a
handbag, and folds up with 2 small carry handles.
As it is a roller pillow, I can only do straight lace, - but it is
invaluable for taking out and about, and takes us very little room - even
in
a caravan. (Been there, done that, for many years!!!)
Currently I have a piece of Early Lace from the newest Rosemary Shepherd
book on the go. I only work on it about every 6 months or so, - but it is
always there, waiting for me to pick it up and go travelling. I have a
working diagram pinned to the inside flap, - to refresh my memory when
next
I open it up to have a go!
