Hi all, Margaret Morgan teaches netting here in Australia and I did her class in Brisbane at the Australian Lace Guild AGM. One of the hardest techniques to pick up. The knot is very involved and goes wrong if you loose concentration. I finished one small doyley in class over 2 days (and much of the night inbetween) and have completed another since but now that I have mastered the basics and can understand the process I might leave it at that. Not for the feint hearted but a great thing to do. Margaret was a great teacher and I don't think I ever would have picked it up from a book. Regards Annette Meldrum in a wet and cold Wollongong Australia

Netting is a middle size stone, and I have too much sand. Jacquie in Lincolnshire - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
