Re: [lace] Demonstrating strategy - Gossip Pillows
A couple of years ago at a demonstration, one of the lace makers brought a 24" cookie pillow for beginners to make a snake. The enterprising lace maker had put 4 prickings on the pillow (along each point of the compass: north, south, east and west) and had 4 children work at the same time. It was an extremely good use of limited demonstration space and the children loved being able to keep an eye on what the others were doing and who was working the fastest. While this is not exactly a gossip pillow, it is a good strategy for demonstrating - with adults as well as children.

For our Newbies: It has been a few years since we discussed Gossip Pillows on Arachne. Suggest you go to archives and search "Gossip Pillows". Two of my memos are near the top, and describe, with directions on where to see a photo on an IOLI Bulletin cover. http://www.mail-archive.com/lace@arachne.com/index.html It would be nice if someone would put a photo on our Arachne flickr.
