I'd like to take this opportunity to say thank you again to all at Arachne who helped me when I first started lace. Living in a small country town, no other lacemakers, let alone teachers around, and just a book (Rosemary Shepherd's Introduction to Bobbin Lace) to learn from, getting started was a bit of a challenge for me.
I received great help and support from Arachne members, and I think it a shame that there are not more queries from beginners posted to our group. Any question, no matter how basic, seems to stimulate really interesting replies. I am helping, by email, a lady in another country town in Australia get started. The latest technology of digital cameras/smart phones is proving very helpful - she snaps a picture of what she has just done, emails it to me, and I can tell here where she's gone wrong, mark up the photo with suggestions or correction notes, and email it back to her. She has difficulty reading printed instructions, and this seems to be working quite well.

Very often, there is someone closer, and someone on Arachne may be able to help. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
