Hi there all,
Bobbinlace.biz is not the addy for the bobbinlace yahoo group. Someone has
suggested it could be the site for the Indian business and I think this is
probably correct. The Bobbinlace at yahoo is a list like this one and I

Hi Patty !
My name is Clay and I am a recovering picot strangler. It
was only this past spring that I took Betty Ann Rice aside
at a Lace Day and begged her to help me! After a 15 minute
lesson, my picots are beautiful - in Tonder, Binche,
Torchon, and Bucks. I have to say that they make me
OK, I'm going to admit to my lazy way of doing picots, which I think
may be the Binche type as Michael Giusiana taught this method to me.
I simply twist 7 times, put my pin under both threads at the same
time and loop them around before placing the pin (same type of
movement as done for
Lynn, get a book! Get a good start-out book, f.i. Pam Nottingham's The

I have learned a half stitch, a whole stitch, a whole stitch with a
twist, a footside (yeah I finally got it). I just need something to play with, is
that enough or do I need more knowledge. I am happy and very eager to learn.
I am a good student :)
Well done - you have the basic

I have always been a bit wary about the picots that are made from twisted
threads looped around the pin without separating the threads; someone told me
many years ago that she had been shown them in Bruges but they didn't always seem
to work as well as our more traditionally made Bucks picot,

I use two threads, twist five times, scoop the outside

Looking at the diagram, the difference is that for the right, the pin is

This is David replying to the queries re the Lace Guild Advent
Calendar as Jean is away until Friday.

I had not been to the Advent calendar for a few days and when I just now went, I

Although I have visited the lace museum on Burano, I thought I had heard that
a new lace museum had opened in Venice. A friend from the museum is going to
Venice and said she would check it out if I could give her some more details

A knotted picot is a *single thread* picot, even though it's made with
a pair. It has only one thread
