Re: [lace] Need help with Brigitte Bellon pattern
Hello Vila, The pattern is beautiful, and I have made a scarf from the same book, which is made very similarly. I think there is nothing wrong in your piece of lace. (And there wasn't either in the one you cut off, as I can see). Number 2 is ok: you must leave the 2 edge pairs plus the guide waiting until you reach that border later again. Now you have to continue working the complete triangle in roseground, which may not offer difficulty because there is a diagram for the unfinished border in the pattern sheet to indicate you how to make it. Once you have finished the triangle, make the narrow cloth stitch trail that follows, then a row of whole stitches and again a row with a trail. You will have to make a joining at the first top stitch of this trail. I think that you have to keep working, because it does not look as if there are pairs missing. Ask again if you arrive to a problem later, but you should not have it. The patterns of this book are very accurate and in torchon everything matches. Keep telling us if these explanations were useful for you. Best luck! And don't cut the lace off! AS soon as you overcome this part, you will see it is not difficult at all.

I have recently read that book, I found it quite a depressing story but saying that I still had to finish reading it ...maybe that's a sign of a well written book? Sue M Harvey Norfolk U. K.

Re: [lace] Ruins of Lace, kindle edition
Hello Ruth Strange isn't it?? It says that it costs 13 dollars on mine, over £8 uk. Shame that they charge different countries different prices for what is, after all, an electronic book delivered over the air/down the phone line and no extra costs involved!!!

Re: [lace] Ruins of Lace, kindle edition
By the way I got mine from the local library. I think there is no point to buying books (other than lace of course) when I can borrow for free from the library. I never read books twice so cannot see the point of loading my book shelves - leaves more room for the books that matter I.e. craft books.

Re: [lace] Ruins of Lace, kindle edition
On Amazon UK the Kindle price is 8 pounds 92p. On the other hand, second hand printed copies begin at 45p. No contest, really; even with 2 pounds 80p postage charge it is still half the price of the electronic version. Given it is depressing read I think I shall give even the old copy a miss.

Re: [lace] Ruins of Lace, kindle edition - Why we need books

I never read books twice so cannot see the point of loading my book shelves - leaves more room for the books that matter I.e. craft books. --- Dear Readers, This is an interesting thread. The book discussed is a work of fiction, but unlikely to be a classic. I have read classics, like Gone with the Wind (also fiction) approximately every 15 years! It (and others) has a different relevance as time marches on and more life experience and knowledge is gained. My books are the greatest of friends - always here. I can remember the years when all I had was about 10 books and the most basic furniture. No money for plants, artwork, rugs, curtains, etc. to personalize living space. Therefore, every morning I walk into my little piece of Heavenly real estate (library), and send up a prayer of thanks for the ability to collect books, and thanks to the authors (most of whom are no longer available to discuss their knowledge). Today, I have done something that I could not do in any individual public library, and would find difficult (if not impossible) to do through internet searches. I've taken over 20 books (from 3 centuries) off the shelves so mis-information in a lace article in a lace newsletter will be corrected. Some amongst us need to police lace history and womens' history. The prevailing attitudes by many powerful people is: what the women who came before us did is not worthy of being acknowledged or accurate. Let us appreciate the historic riches documented in our real books. Technology is changing so rapidly that writings kept in one of these new formats may become lost within just a few years.

[lace] Flickr issues
Hello Again! After reviewing the archives, I've tried the various methods to upload a photo I'm getting nowhere fast! The system definitely wants an email address but won't accept the arachne2... or Honiton password. When I use my own yahoo email, it wants to make me a new user. Will someone take pity on an old dog who isn't able to jump the hoop? g I've scanned three lace butterfly pins, the last one may be of interest. The others appear to be machine made. The last one was purchased in Quebec city several years ago. The pin is huge can't reasonably be used on anything with a fine weave so I had to poke it with a pearl headed straight pin to wear it on a linen coat. If it's nice weather, I'll wear it to Cortland tomorrow.
