Hello Ruth
I think it was Mrs Winifred Millar who said something to the effect that a
piece of lace when laid over the palm of your hand should remain relatively
horizontal and not *droop* over the edge.

Looked at the Lace Guild web site this morning for the answers to the Advent
Calendar competition, and I'm very pleased with myself that I identified the
six laces in it correctly, even if I wasn't one of the winners. Thanks to
David and Jean for this throughly enjoyable exercise each year. Can't

Hi Diana - I'm glad to hear it!! 'Cos that's why I made a conscious decision
to only use threads made for lacemaking!!If I'm going to put all that
effort into making a piece of lace, I like it to present itself to the world as

Similarly, the inexpensive polystyrene pillow I bought to try Honiton
developed a hole in the centre. It is still usable, with pieces of green
baize packing the hole, but as I've since bought a traditional Honiton

using the same pinholes, not putting pins *next to* former pinholes. That's
why it's not more wear to the pillow.
So have you never noticed that if you use the same length of pattern

There's a lacemakers ham on ebay right now! I suppose the

Hi everyone
I love the idea of untwisted spider legs. I have a few here and there in
my samples. If I notice too long after the fact, I go 'tsk' and carry on -
it is my tribute to being handmade - if you deliberately leave them
untwisted - by accident then design, or purely by design, some might

A lot of people think of that pattern as the cream of the book,
because of the finer thread. Me, if I ever wanted to try a Bucks
pattern with 55 (basic) pairs, I'd probably go for the Rosa Perfecta in
the same book, and just copy it slightly finer -- there's a much nicer
balance
And I see the pattern is leather too! Just imagine pricking through that -
on or off the pillow!!!

Hi, everyone,
I am doing a wide edging with cotton and a rough silk gimp. I use Midlands, but
I used continentals for the gimp, because I needed a lot of thread on, and
Midlands were too thin. It looks gorgeous, but I noticed that my gimp thread
