Hi,Jen
I have a needlelace pillow, but I never use it. I prefer holding the lace in
my hand while I work, and it's much easier to carry around that way (useful
for taking to meetings when a bobbin lace pillow is too awkward to manage on
public transport). The biggest piece I've done without a

Jo, what Alice said is precisely what I meant: 2 colours, instead of 3.

Hallo Jen and all spiders,
My lace tutor taught us how to make a small pillow for needle lace that I
have found very useful although my first love is BL. Find a piece of rigid
tube ( I got a piece from the carpet shop it is the centre that the carpets
are rolled onto) mine was 3inches across
Another method that I have heard of for making a needlelace pillow is
to use an empty baby milk tin. you can pad it and cover it with a snug
drawstring bag which you can have in such a way that you can still open
the milk tin and store your threads etc inside it when you are not
working on
