Dear Friends,
As I completed my Chantilly cloth tonight, there was the odd bit of
bad language, and I thought it might be an interesting exercise in
lace making to ask you all when it is that you swear the loudest if
something goes wrong.
For me tonight it occurred when I was sewing off over
David,
I don't think I actually swear but there is a shriek of panic/anger when the
thread breaks on me. Luckily that doesn't happen too often, but it has
happened twice on the tying off. I tend to be very very cautious now:-) I
haven't used silk so guess I had better be extremely careful
Tsk, Tsk David for smoking while doing lace!
My bigest swearfest was when I was working on one of Christine Springette's
wide edging patterns that takes 66 pairs of bobbins to turn the corner. I
was in the process of turning said monster leaf encrusted corner which was
on a HUGE 24 cookie pillow
The closest I have come to swearing and murder was a few years ago.
I was winding up for a project that used 300 pairs of bobbins. I was
nearly done and had bobbins hanging EVERYWHERE in my very tiny
apartment.
I get a frantic knock on the door. It is my downstairs neighbor and
she is having a

Shere'e that is one lucky cat:-) My cat used to try to play with mine on my
pillow but I taped his leg a little to stop him. Occasionaly he puts a paw
on my bobbins and pillow but doesn't do anymore. I have a number of photos
of him.
Now I wonder where your lost bobbins went !!!

Oh David,
what's that smoking during making lace. I once met a lady who ended up
as a non-smoker after being influenced from lacemaking.
No, I never swear but I cut up my work twice in 20 years. The first
time, I had just started and I bought a Danish role in Danmark. And the
lady told me that

I'm not sure it's swearing, but the word yelled is
usually: C-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-t-t-t-t !

Hiya all.
I am a newb at bobbin lace making.
I feel pretty good since I have turned my first 3 corners on a hanky (gods
know what I am going to use it for?) and it looks good.
I have done a rather simple but lovely torchon design from Doris Southards

Lovely lace, Reiko. - Yes Please, do put an English translation there, so
we can all read your text.
And please put up some more photos of your lovely Honiton lace. They are
great designs.

So glad you are OK, Alice in Oregon. We saw on the TV news about your

I hope all other lacemakers in the area are OK. Too.
You can send some of that rain over here as soon as you like, and as much as
you like!! We are desperate for rain all over the

It's a good thing that my swearing has lessened as I am now in the
processof making lace butterflies for a eucharist stole for my
priest at church.
I'm afraid that God might not like it if I swear over it!

Dearest Spiders,
In my old age I have mellowed and come full circle to the teachings of my
sainted Southern Mother. However, back in 1977 I began lacemaking at the
gentle hands of Ann Cope at White Hill Centre in Chesham, Bucks England.
When the gentle ladies in the class heard a Southern
Hello There:
I shiver when I read the catastrophic cat stories. I am fortunate that our
two little dogs - Alfie and Darla - are very relaxed around anything textile
related. They even fetch runaway tools or bits.
My loudest curses (in more than one language) have been the result of birds

It's funny... When I first started making lace, the air was blue
around my pillow almost all the time. Sometimes, cursing in English
wasn't enough; I had to yell out the worst in Polish, to let my lace
know *precisely* what I thought of its misbehaviour...
But, as my skills at rescue
