Oh Susan, you lucky, lucky lady! I've just looked at your fabulous prize and they are to die for! The beautiful wooden case too, an absolute dream. I thought I must have a pair, until I looked at the price plus shipping of course and customs charges for us in the UK. Oh well, one can dream.
Such good news about your husband too and know how that feels, as my husband has also been one of the lucky ones with regard to cancer. Happy New Year to all and happy lacemaking.

These tiny beauties are beyond exquisite & they cut like a dream. Did I mention that I am over the moon?! I posted a photo to Flickr & I am most eager to use them for Rosaline, Honiton & needle lace. Very pointy & exceedingly sharp, they will be handy in tight spaces where accuracy is key. Hardanger comes to mind, but it's not my thing. I've already tried them on a small, beaded needlepoint project & I am in love! Which brings me to the question of the day. What kind of scissors are being used for lace? I confess to owning many scissors, some quite nice--but I have never had scissors like this. Nor would I have suspected that there would be such a dramatic difference in quality! Yikes, did I miss the scissor tutorial? What are the experts using & why? Looking forward to candid opinions & advice because I am still in shock.
