Quoting Suzi Clarke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Could someone explain what "ric-rac" is? It doesn't seem to be what I understand. I have several cards of ric-rac braid I got in a sale, and would use it to sew on to a garment for decoration. It was a very popular trim in the mid 50's if I remember right - that's the 1950's! But ric-rac involving crochet is a total mystery to me. Yet another example of two countries separated by the same language?
Don't feel bad -- I"m on *this* side of the pond (i.e., the states), and I have *no* clue either. The rick-rack that I remember was almost zig-zag like a bunch of NNNNNNNN except not that tight -- more like a string of sideways Zs Susan ----- Susan Farmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] University of Tennessee Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology http://www.goldsword.com/sfarmer/Trillium/ _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
