I agree, it is possible to move, but I would get funny looks if I brought it to work, whereas my tatting is just my little secret! I don't smoke, so when others take a cigarette break, I feel I'm allowed a tatting break.<BR/>Laura, you must consider making bobbins! Have you got a lathe? I'm sure people would be keen to buy them.<BR/>When you start making lace it really helps to have spangled bobbins, as the beads help you remember which is which.Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16535283952234877878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33577515.post-67443428861339155312007-09-26T05:01:00.000+02:002007-09-26T05:01:00.000+02:00I am so glad you posted the pictures for me, and o...I am so glad you posted the pictures for me, and others, to see. The lace is pretty, but I will never know how anyone keeps up with which bobbin they need. I must check that out one day. I find the bobbins absolutely fascinating! I would probably enjoy making the bobbins in my woodshop!Tattycathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09238301423279573743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33577515.post-89852815067436858612007-09-25T22:54:00.000+02:002007-09-25T22:54:00.000+02:00I'm not a bobbin lacer, but I believe the thing th...I'm not a bobbin lacer, but I believe the thing that the pattern pricking is attached to, is called a roller pillow and the little sticks the thread is wrapped on are called bobbins. Bobbin lacers usually refer to the thing that they stick pins into as a pillow, but the ones that have a section that rolls so that you can do yards of edgings is referred to as a roller pillow. For transporting and storage it usually has a rectangle of stiff fabric that is laid across the bobbins to keep them from rolling around, that is called a cover cloth. They might be some of the words you are looking for. Or maybe not :-)Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08893826686654270522noreply@blogger.com
