[lace] Happy New Year
Happy New Year to everyone. I have just returned from holiday, and got back onto Arachne. I have missed you all, and hope you are all well and safe. I made a quarter of the Bucks pt. wedding handkie I started in December,(part of the first corner, and all of one side, and into the 2nd corner) so I feel I got on well. I was able to have a couple of quiet hours each evening, while my DH went prawning, to catch live bait for the next day's fishing!!! I also sat in the boat each day (inland waters, so no swell to make me seasick!!! ) and taught myself Armenian Knotted Lace from the Elena Dickson book on Eastern Mediterranian Lace, and really enjoyed the challenge, though there is Lots of room for improvement!!. Hooray! I have found something else besides Filet Lace, and Hardanger, that I can see to do without a big magnifier! Also it is so portable - much like tatting - just a ball of crochet cotton, scissors, needle and thimble, so it will fit into my pocket or handbag!.

[lace] Happy New Year and another BL project done!
To bring in the new year 2010 I finished this morning another UFO bobbin lace project that has been on my pillow since last year http://www.tat-man.net/bobbinburg/BLgallery/Bruges_Valentine_heart.jpg It is Valentine's Day Heart on page 92 of Edna Sutton's book Bruges Flower Lace done in Bokens 60/2 offwhite linen thread. Real fun pattern to do. Of course I am my worst critic. I thinkI knowI messed up some of the plait and picot fillings on the side. Some of the pattern stumped me and didn't match the picuture. So I tried my best to make the filling look like the picture. Now on to another large project from the same book. Blossom Time, page 95. :) in freezing Greenville, IL USA trying to stay warm in single digit F weather. -- Mark, aka Tatman website: http://www.tat-man.net blog: http://tatmantats.wordpress.com etsy shop: http://tatman.etsy.com FB: http://www.facebook.com/tatmantats - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Fw: [lace] Happy New Year and a question about thread length
If I have some expensive or particularly pretty thread left and I don't want to waste it, I use it up on a pattern from Suzanne Thompson's 'Torchon Lace Purse Pendants', which has been written so the patterns are easy to vary. I resize them on my scanner to suit the thread I have left, and they can be used for all sorts of things, from lavender bags to purses. I then use them as 'extras' when giving someone a present. Dee Palin Warwickshire - Original Message - From: Brenda Paternoster paternos...@appleshack.com To: rislyb...@aol.com Cc: l...@dont.panix.com Sent: Friday, January 02, 2009 10:21 PM Subject: Re: [lace] Happy New Year and a question about thread length Hello Sandy I believe I have read somewhere that there is a formula for determining length to wind onto bobbins for bookmarks. Four times the length of the bookmark comes to mind. Is this correct? It's about twice the length of the lace plus enough for the leash, so for a bookmark it will be about four times the length of the pattern. I realize that the workers will need more thread. Is there a formula for that too? If it's a pair that will remain as worker all the way just fill the bobbin as it depends on how wide the cloth stitch area is. Underestimating leaves me short and too much thread leaves the problem of the next start. I do not wish to have to tie threads for a beginning. What do you all do? I nearly always start with new thread, mostly because I tend to use different threads, colours etc for each project, besides it's just not worth the hassle of having lots of joins. The last but one piece which I finished I was using shorter than normal threads (because I'd cut it off and restarted) but the lengths of thread were not long enough and I ended up with lots of joins towards the end and it was a real pain. Err on the side of generosity when winding your bobbins it's a lot less hassle in the long run and as Betty Ann says thread is inexpensive in the grand theme of things.

[lace] Happy New Year/ Threads for Beds pattern
Happy New Year to you all. And a big thank you to all those who replied to my query - after reading all the replies and taking a good look at both the pricking I'm about to start and the one I had trouble with before, I've decided to stick with the recommended thread, and if the trails are too tightly packed for comfort I'll throw a pair or two out after the first repeat. I wound the bobbins this morning and managed to spend a couple of hours this afternoon making a start on the lace- I'll let you know how it turns out.

I wish everyone a heartfelt and warm, glorious New Year. I thank you all for the help that you have extended to me and my questions. Please know that I am sincerely greatful. Also, I think it is fascinating that I was lucky enough to find a group of people that are so willing to share their knowledge and that they are from all over the world, to bad we can't figure out how to bottle this in order to sprinkle all over the world for world peace.

Happy New Year to You All. My New Year's resolution is too get more lace made!!! I'm sorry that I didn't spend time making lace this Christmas Holiday, I spent too much time eating and now have 7 pounds to quickly dispose of before any more catches me.
