I first heard the term "Milking fairy cows" from Christine Hawken, when I
took the Honiton class from her ar Arachne '99.
I can't claim responsibility for this hint, and can't remember where I
learned it, but given the recent discussion about leaves and tallies,
thought it appropriate:
When making leaves and tallies, you have to be really careful not to
tension that weaver at the wrong time. I was always forgetting until
someone suggested I mark the weaver with a hair clip. These are the tiny
"crab" clips that have the flange at the back that you pinch to open the
clip. They fit perfectly around the shaft of a bobbin so when I pick up
that bobbin, I'm aware that I'm holding the weaver.
