I just learned how to make bobbin lace, and would like to play with it further, but being unemployed I can't really afford a (new) bobbin lace pillow right now. Does anyone have one that they're not using, and that I can borrow or buy secondhand?
I'm in Sunnyvale but would be happy to pick up anywhere in the Bay Area.

I have a friend that was interested in learning bobbin lace, acquired all the stuff, and then decided it wasn't for her. Let me check with her--if she still has everything, she might be interested in selling it.
That would be wonderful! Syne Mitchell (of WeaveZine fame) has offered to loan me her roller pillow but I would love to have one "of my very own".

Hola Tien: si estas interesada puedo pasarte por email toda la información para hacer una propia, y por supuesto tengo patrones, libros, etc., porque antes del telar aprendi a bolillar, el tema es que esta en castellano todo. Un saludo y feliz año, cristina
I've seen directions for making your own - basically a fabric covered straw pillow.
Thanks! I've played a bit with bobbin lace now and have decided it's not for me, but I appreciate the thoughts.
Gracias to both of you!
