The problem with reading the UK stitching magazines

I've become addicted to reading the UK magazines, especially Stitch. Well,
now it's going to get expensive. I want a Prym Flower loom. It looks far
more flexible than any thing I can find from a US company. And as of right
now, they don't sell it in the US....
GRRRR

Have a look at ebay http://tinyurl.com/2j7jeh.
"Prym FLOWER LOOM Knitting Daisy different sizes" with a "buy it now"
price of six pounds ninetynine pence plus two pounds fifty pence air
mail postage to USA (total about nineteen US dollars)

http://www.knitting-and.com/blog/001516.htmlshows the Koppo cushion
being described as a teneriffe lace maker. I surely wish I could find
one, but none for sale that I can locate.

fromeach other and do any tenerif lace on it ... mirjam

Bruce, thanks for both the link to the eBay item and to the pdf on
teneriffe lace making. I am glad I checked the group postings this
early in the morning. I really would like to find a Koppo Cushion,
also, more for sentiment than anything. My mother enjoyed using
hers. I'll try Mirjam's suggestion of a cardboard wheel, too.
