Re: [lace] One more attempt to clarify Yahoo and Arachne-7....
I am a member of many yahoo lists and I use my own emailadress. I also have a yahoo email which I use if I want newsletters from fabric companies or such. The strange thing is that I get a lot of spam at my own address but almost nothing to my yahoo account! Ann-Marie http://community.webshots.com/user/annma1 http://www.ettklickforskogen.se/ I realize Yahoo's own instructions about their groups are highly confusing and can seem very intimidating to a newcomer. One point that seems to have confused lots of potential applicants is that to be a member of a Yahoo group you need to have a Yahoo *ID* and a Yahoo *profile*--even if the profile is mostly blank--but you do *NOT* need a Yahoo e-mail address! I also believe even if you have signed up for a Yahoo e-mail address you can still change the address you have the group's e-mails sent to a non-Yahoo address-- I think Robin Panza has done this, for example (hopefully she's received the A7 messages that are beginning to circulate at her desired address!). All the best, Sue (*not* in Raleigh, NC at the moment, and with unusually limited Internet access as a result--but having a nice time anyway) - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace] Riddle not rhyme
As Jean said, don't forget you will need the person (not necessarily male!) who is the I in the rhyme. Also, please remember this was originally a riddle, not a nursery rhyme, the question being, Kits, cats, sacks, and wives, How many were there going to St Ives? The two solutions (depending on how the question is read) being either ONE, ie the person telling the rhyme, or NONE ie the questioner means How many of kits, cats etc are going to St Ives. The trick obviously is that the recipient will do the lengthy mental arithmetic of 7 times table and additions. S, if you put a signpost in, make sure it faces the right way.

[lace] Re: Knipling-Festival in Tönder 3 (long)
Hello everybody, Jenfeld, the part of Hamburg , we live celebtate its 700year- jubilee, that's why I am a bit late. We have here an archive/museum which is normaly only once a month open. So I forgot allways to go there and have a look, but now it is open all the days of the celebration and we did it. I learned that this part is the so callled coastel sandy moorland built by the last ice-time. It was called Yellow Field before and for 700 years the first people settled here. We, DP and I live here for 29 years only but if we try very hard we are perhaps still here in 671 years. Ok back to lace, read Tönder. In the Brorsonhus, Östergade 14, we could see several things. One of them a big collection about the Europian tape-laces. In other showcases were the lace-jewelleries and some collers from Jana Novak and collers from Eva Fialowa and other tcheque lace artists. As well as wonderful fine tape-laces from Lepoglava, Croatia with little flowers and tendrils and other laces. And what was surprising for me a whole showcase full of Three Pairs Flanders Stitch something I saw for the first time on our Kongreß in Bad Pyrmont where a lace-friend of mine from Dresden gave a class about. This is in a way a easy work but looks so fine and decorative. Also some russian tape-laces with colours and motives like leaves, animals and houses from Sebastina van der Herike and the fantastic designs from Riet Delescen were on display. After all that lots more in Dröhses Hus, Storegade 14. Here you could admire very big tablecloths with lace over and over. In another room the work of Astrid Hansen, an examined lace-teacher, was shown the properly done workinschemes the lace-samples, the hole way she make a lace class. I am not sure if you are interested in her live, if so let me know and I can tel you later. Very interesting was the lace-pillow from queen Alexandrina, she did lacemaking all her live long and died in 1952. It was made from Carl Abildgaard in 1900. On the pillow is a Tönder-lace Rikke and it is possible that this was her last work. After the death of the queen the first lady-in-waiting heired the pillow. Later queen ingrid got it and today it belonged to Tönder Museum. There was another lace-pillow which belonged to Berthe Marie Alexandersen (1819 - 1899) which married in 1840 the farmer Hans Alexandersen born 1777. It is not the pillow which is so interesting, they found a very small notice-book inside in which she wrote at the end of a week how many scallops she had worked and than convert into danske cubits, this had, one cubit were 27 scallops. First they read the booklet wrong it was the lace-searcher Ebba Busch who found out how to read the thing. So we know now that Berthe had worked from this lace 1228 d.cubits and about one and half year before she died 1623 d. cubits plus 12 scallops this are in meters 1019, I let you to convert it in feet. I could tel til next week but I must do also something else. For ending with Tönder I tell you about a needle lace from Hungaria the Halas-lace. I had heard of this and still seen one or two pieces and here I had lots of them. It is a fine lace with clear motives, really lovely . It started in Kiskunhalas in the south-west of Hungaria in 1912. The first designer was Árpád Dékáni (1861 - 1931) and Mária Markovits (1875 - 1954) was the best and one of the first makerin of this sort of lace. The design is drawn of a paper which come on a piece of tissu. Over both you put a piece of greasproof paper. Then with a thicker thread you made the outlines of the design and after that with another thread and various stiches the design. The motives are made with a sort of darn stitch so it become very dense and this clear look. There are more than 60 different stiches in use. In the last report I tell you about Lorenzen's Gard and a bit about danske lace tradition but perhaps only in a few days. Hope i didn't bore you.

No, you do not need a person who is the I. The *viewer* can be the I. And, yes, a sign To St Ives needs to be in the first section, pointing to the far end. And there could be a sign at the end that just says St Ives if part of the village is shown The people would mostly be facing the TO. sign, except for a wife who stopped to pick up a lost sack and is turned around while picking it up.

No. That's the whole point! It's I that's going to St Ives, the rest are coming from there, so the people need to be facing away from the village. If they were all going to St Ives it would be a maths problem not a riddle. If you want it to be the viewer who is I, then the people need to be coming towards you, not going from side to side on the panel. There are 3 St Ives in England, the best known being the one in Cornwall. I can't find any evidence as to which one is referred to in the rhyme; it could have been just because it happens to rhyme with wives. So it doesn't matter much what the village/town (if you have one) looks like as there is no distinguishing feature like a cathedral tower.

[lace-chat] :-) Words of Wisdom
Words of Wisdom People who live in glass houses should make love in the basement. Never read the fine print. There ain't no way you're going to like it. The only two things we do with greater frequency in middle age are urinate and attend funerals. The trouble with bucket seats is that not everybody has the same size bucket. To err is human, to forgive - highly unlikely. Do you realize that in about 40 years, we'll have thousands of old ladies running around with tattoos? Money can't buy happiness -- but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a Porsche than in a Hyundai. Drinking makes some husbands see double and feel single. Living in a nudist colony takes all the fun out of Halloween. After a certain age, if you don't wake up aching in every joint, you are probably dead.

[lace-chat] Dishwashing liquid fleas
Before I started using Frontline (fipronil?) on my dogs, I used to use the dishsoap-in-water to drown the little biters. That was after I discovered a flea could struggle to the surface of plain water and leap back out! G. However, adding the dish liquid made them struggle around under the water and drown.

Re: [lace-chat] russian lace booklets on ebay
I have these booklets (32 36 pgs. ea). The cover says MOCKBA 1994 and the drawings are very 'stylized' much like high fashion drawings. I think MOCKBA is the designer as most of the prickings are labeled 'mockba a yr.. The lace is basically tape lace with some tallies/leaves. I think most anyone who has done basic tape laces could follow the prickings without directions (the directions are there but in Russian). It might take a try or 2 to determine which thread to use, I can't easily pick up on a thread size. Bk. #1 has 13 edgings /or insertions, trim pieces for 2 different blouse/tops, and 2 collars. Bk. #2 has 3 collars (large), 3 mats (very similar) 2 insertions/edgings, and 1 very wide edging for a scarf or towel. What I found very interesting is the detail of the drawings in the directions. 'Blow-ups' of crossings, the beginning and ending of tallies, etc. I am happy with my purchase and wish I could get one of the collars done before Prague (but it will never happen!).

Lorri, C is s and B is v in the Russian alphabet, so it's simply Moskva (Moscow), which is also the place where the booklets have been published. I've just forwarded Jenny's original message to Clay (she's not on chat) to ask her to bid on the booklets for me. If she gets them for me, I might be able to see who the designer is. But, unless there's a normal (two-piece, consisting of first and surname) name somewhere (title page, copyright page), it's likely we'll never know who designed those patterns; even post communist Russia (which it was, in 1994, when the book was published) isn't all that strong on giving credit where it's due :) In some ways, it's worse now, with the money being *the* mainspring for most actions; on the one hand, there's more pirating going on, on the other the national artists aren't recognised/ subsidised, so that you might not even see *their* names mentioned :) Jenny, the cover illustrations look older, because: a) Art Nouveau and Art Deco are still (again?) very popular styles in Eastern Europe b) The meandering style of the Russian Tape lace fits them very well :) If you look at the picture of the blouse and hat, they're much more modern (60ties?) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?

Dear Secret Pal, A mail truck stopped outside my home, and I found a package on my front porch. What fun!! The little glass birds came through intact, and are beautiful! They're hanging by my computer until I find the perfect place for them. I've always loved things made of glass. The fancy sachet is quite unique. Did you make it? It smells so nice. I'll save the quilting book for a quiet evening when I can look through it with leisure. A glance through gave me a hint of the projects in it. Thank you for a fun package, mysterious friend!

[lace-chat] Europe in a wheelchair
Weronika, The long and the short of such a plan (and without wrapping in clean linen, to use as many cliches in one breath as I can g) is this: It is, probably, still safe enough to live outside the loop in Europe for a while, if you're willing to stick to small towns/villages (and what tourist does?), though it's never going to be pleasant (given the weather. Europe ain't California) If your friend is thinking of capitals/big cities, then it's neither safe nor possible, brother for a shield or no. Big maybe - some of the Estern Europe countries might not yet have caught up to the general standard, so it *might be*, marginally, more possible to live in the rough there, for a short term. Since it'd be much more difficult for an *American*, to adjust to truly hideous conditions than it would be for me or you (both used to doing without), I'd suggest she do a trial run in either Washington DC or NYC (where, at least, she speaks the language, and where handicapped accessible is fairly comonplace) before tackles Europe. I know you've spent a night in a Warsaw park within the last couple of years, and survived unharmed, but you'd be doing your friend a great disservice to encourage this harebrained idea. IMO. --- Tamara P Duvall http://lorien.emufarm.org/~tpd Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) Healthy US through The No-CARB Diet: no C-heney, no A-shcroft, no R-umsfeld, no B-ush.
