I will be there, too, for an Arachne meeting, if one can be arranged!! They are such fun, - and so nice to meet others Arachneans face to face. I even have a gift ready for a raffle, - if we have a meeting and include a raffle!!
I, too, have found the ethafoam pillows a wonderful $5 investment when I come to conventions, as it is impossible to fly long-distance with a pillow in the suitcase. I have given them away afterwards, as even bringing one back home was in the "too hard" basket!! I have had to declare the Bobbins at customs when we get back here. Last time I said I had lacemakers bobbins the customs guy thought for a moment then asked if they were "Those stick things" When I said yes, he just waived me though saying they were OK!! Obviously a few lacemakers have passed though his area, and he has been well educated"!!! Janice - I have done some Knotted lace in the plane, - with pre-cut thread loosely plaited so I just pull out a length to use, - and leave all the ends to cut off when I get back to "terra firma". I try to hide the needle under a metal zipp somewhere, in case the scanners decide a needle is a dangerous weapon, and confiscate it. I usually have another needle hidden away somewhere else in my carry-on bag, just in case....!!! I will have that with me, as well as some tatting, as Melbourne to LA non-stop is a Very long flight - though part of it is at night!. The sitting around at airport waiting for flights is perhaps, the worst part! DH gets restless, so wants to drag me off for walks - round and round the same bit of the airport...!!!
