Morning All

I just realised I replied privately to Agnes. (and I guess-timated  
it was 4 3/4 not too bad for a guess!!)  Anyway, she was being  
cheeky!!!

I am very bad at yards!


You and me both :) I've been here for 35yr and I still think in 
metric... Brought with me from Poland scales which weigh in grams and 
kilos, every thermometer in the house has both Celsius and Farenheit, 
and every measuring cup, tailor's tape and ruler has markings for both 
"the metric and the weird".



How many meters is that?


1yard=3feet=36inches=90cm

It's easiest to remember that a foot is 30cm and that there are three 
of them in every yard. So, Sue's "5yds" is 30x3x5. That is, 450cm or

Hello fellow Arachneans

Earlier I sent the message below out...

I didn't mean OIDFA. I did mean IOLI.  So, thanks to the IOLI  
members who donated the items!!  (Sorry Clay, slip of the  
fingers... or the brain cell - it was a blonde moment darlings!!)


Mind you, I'm sure there are some members of IOLI who are also members  
of OIDFA, so they need thanking anyway!!

Thanks to you and to the OIDFA members who donated these items.  
(Cranberry Lacers, Lighthouse Lacers of Kenosha and Heartland Lace  
Guild)  Your items are gratefully received and will be shown to any  
lacemaker within 5 yards of my pillow!!
