I think that one reason for the quietness on Arachne is that many of the new lacers are using certain facebook groups. Facebook has a huge membership, so those groups quickly accumulate lots of members. And of course, there are groups for every language. Here are some of the ones I know about. https://www.facebook.com/groups/bobbinlacemakers/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/30338026304/ I think that these groups attract new lacemakers, so they don't feel the need for a group like Arachne. However, I also think Arachne is still very useful, because of all the knowledgable people. Lorelei Halley
