    You use a thread and a shuttle to create kind of blanket stitch knots round a thread which is linked together at intervals to create a lacy kind of effect. Its eyewateringly fine and tedious and makes arthritisy hands ache so gets cast aside.

    This is essentially it, yes. It’s also a very strong weave.

    You’re up :)

    Ok. Time for the answer.

    All are continental countries whose capital city is (or was) located on an offshore island.

    Denmark. Copenhagen is on the island of Zealand.
    Equatorial Guinea. Malabo is on the island of Bioko. However, the government is in the process of relocating the capital to Oyala aka Ciudad de la Paz on mainland Rio Muni.
    Gambia. Banjul was founded on Banjul Island aka St. Mary's Island. It has expanded to the mainland out of proportion to its original size but the seat of government remains on the island,
    Mozambique (formerly). Stone Town on the offshore Moçambique Island was the capital from the 16th century until 1898.
    Nigeria (formerly). Lagos was the capital from 1914 to 1991. It was founded on Lagos island.. It expanded to the mainland out of proportion to its original size but the seat of government remained on the island until the capital was relocated to Abuja.
    United Arab Emirates. Abu Dhabi is located on an island.

    No response to my question so just to be clear, that would be the Ross tapestry in New Ross, Co Wexford.

    Is it not the Ros Tapestry? A project to depict Norman Irish history, that's been ongoing a few tears I think.

    I know it's not my turn, but I hope it's ok if I ask a question, too, considering how quiet this thread has been, lately.

    By what other name is R. Kreutznaer better known as?
