Subject: [lace] text messaging on bobbins
HI all
It occurred to me that in autograph books of days gone by there are
writings
in abbreviated English that aren't too far off text messaging today e.g. I
C
(I see) U R (you are) Y Y (two wise ( = two y's, sounds the same) 4 (for)
me. Some 'pokerwork' sayings on old bone bobbins are also written in
short!
