[lace] problems with my computer
I have to apologise, I am having problems with my computer. The emails I send it seems say it is 2003. I was wondering why I am not getting reply to messages. Plus I don't think I am getting all the messages from Arachne. I do have a special box where some of my mail goes into. I also have problems with the computer, can take an hour before I stop seeing lovely patterns on the screen. DH is not very well, so hopefully I will sometime soon be able to get help.

[lace] rings for lacemaking?
Hi, I found someone selling bobbins on eBay: You are about to bid on 14 new wooden belgian lace making bobbins. There are 4 rings included.. (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemcategory=28151item=8139731075rd=1) Does anyone have any idea what the rings are for? The seller doesn't know.

But I agree with Patty that I wouldn't consider anything that there's no photo of. I also found it strange that you have to be a pre-approved buyer, I haven't seen this one before. As the seller gets the money (and can allow cheques to clear) before they part with the goods, why is this necessary - especially for a relatively low cost item?

Re: [lace] rings for lacemaking?
Hmm. Gets even stranger. Here's another eBay auction of apparently the exact same item, but by a different seller, for a different price, and this time with a picture: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemcategory=19158item=8139667910rd=1 The rings are indeed separate, and this seller apparently doesn't know what they're for either...

Re: [lace] rings for lacemaking?
Well, from the picture in the second posting you found, I believe that the rings have nothing at all to do with lacemaking in general. It may be that someone designed something which uses the rings as a permanent part of the construction, but without any other information, I'd say those rings are just junk being shipped from the seller's house to your house!!

Re: [lace] Hi and 8 pair cross
On Sat, 16 Oct 2004 21:42:13 +0100 (BST), Laura wrote: I'm Laura and was a member of the list some time ago, had to leave the list due to major changes in personal circumstances, even stopped making any lace over this time too, so I'm a bit rusty. Now things are more settled and I've picked up my pillow and bobbins again, and easing myself in gently. Decided to finally make some Christmas decs with bangles, and this leads me to my problem. I thought I'd have a go at the Christmas Spider nad have fallen at the first block. Here's my problem - how do I do the 8 pair cross? Or is there another way of starting it? Is this the Christmas spider designed by Jackie MacDouall whose pricking is on my website? It can be seen at: http://www.sandbenders.demon.co.uk/gallery/chrspid.htm As the instructions start with an 8 pair crossing, then I think it probably is this one. So far as I know Jackie isn't on arachne at the moment, so she isn't likely to answer. I haven't made the ornament myself, so I don't know either. If I were doing the spider I would consult either Practical Skills in Bobbin Lace by Bridget Cook or the equivalent German book by Ulrike Löhr. The crossing isn't a decorative feature of this pattern - it's there just to get the pairs into the right places - so I would pick whichever 8 pair crossing in the books looks easiest to do. -- History is a set of lies agreed upon. - Napoleon Bonaparte Steph Peters [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tatting, lace stitching page http://www.sandbenders.demon.co.uk/index.htm Scanned by WinProxy http://www.Ositis.com/ - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace] RE: Thread
I just said goodbye to Susan and her DH Ken about an hour ago. She stopped by our lace retreat and displayed her many goodies for us poor bobbin lace supply starved Iowans. We thought we had died and gone to bobbin lace heaven! :-) Yes, she had the Colcotton in a rainbow of wonderful colors. I believe she said they were a new thing with her and she's also been busy to update her website. So give her a couple of days to drive back to Virginia.

Re: [lace] rings for lacemaking?
Aah! now this link does take me to bobbins!! My advice would be - if you're interested in the bobbins, buy them, and plan to throw away the rings!!

Re: [lace] rings for lacemaking?
Well I think that the bobbins are mass produced, so should cost about 1 USD / 1 Euro each when new, and the rings may have been for a curtain pole - or as Clay suggested just junk! If you want to see pics of lace bobbins with little rings carved around them (as Patti suggested) have a look at: http://users.argonet.co.uk/users/paternoster/lace/bobbins/specials.html There are two such bobbins about 3/4 of the way down the page.

[lace-chat] ebay email scam/phishing
I don't sell on ebay but on half.com, which they own. Got two messages to my email apparently meant for others thanking the seller for kindness and saying paypal has forwarded money. I deleted one and sent the other to [EMAIL PROTECTED], hoping that is ebay's notification process. I don't expect any arachnids to be fooled, you all (and me on your coattails) are pretty savvy in the ways of email, but be aware of this new phishing technique.

Re: [lace-chat] Halas lace
Hi Dora and all, I'd love to read what you have to say about Halas lace. Wouldn't it be appropriate for arachne or do you think it's too long and belongs on chat? I'll read it anywhere! Jane in Vermont, USA where things are quiet for the moment, it's been a busy weekend. [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- having read all your notes about Halas Lace I thought I would just mentione that I also went to Kiskunhalas and Kalocsa. That was in 1984 I wrote about it in my book and would be willing to give a report, but it would have to be in sections as it is rather long. Let me know if you are interested.
