Thank you Jenny for the list of lacemaking links. Just spent an enjoyable hour going through them all and have bookmarked many to return to when I have more time.

Re: [lace] long list of websites that contain lace
Having looked at the Arachne Lace Bookmark Exchange on Jenny's list, and being absolutely gobsmacked at the fantastic bookmarks, how does one get copies of some of the patterns. My FIL is a celtic art expert and taught it for years. He still does alot of research as well as make gifts with a celtic theme. I would love to get ahold of Angela Ashton's celtic bookmark as done by Miriam on page 5 - not only is it a beautifully done piece Miriam, it is correct - one line only and over/under, trust me he would check. It would make a great Christmas present for him, and I would have to do it soon as he just turned 93. It would be a great bookmark for Harry Potter 7 - I says he has to hold out for the final story.

[lace] Oval Leaves
I feel a bit of a fool - thought I had saved the site for the leaves, which showed in clear detail step by step, a method of making them. Please could someone let me have the address again. Sorry to trouble you, but it was a very clear description. I have made leaves in the 'English' manner (on the pillow rather than in the hand) all my lacemaking life, but am just starting to experiment with other methods, in the hope that I can 'perfect' mine. However, I should add that I do not work in fine threads, so I am looking for an ideal, fool-proof (:-)) way with 16/2 and thicker fibres. I suspect that it is more down to the maker than the thread, but I live in hope!

David, It is good to see the men who diversify too. I have a fabulous embroidered picture hanging on my wall, a gift to my husband and I from a work college (a man). I often used to get roped in to help with fixing our car, putting up sheds. Not so capable anymore but my hsbnd and I still make a good team, takes us longer though.

[lace] my father was not alone
So David learned to knit. My father taught me to knit, crochet and sew, and he taught my sisters too. Being an old-fashioned army man, they were taught to mend their own socks, sew on buttons etc. My husband, on the contrary, is hopeless in this field, and so I became my children's teacher.

Re: [lace] my father was not alone
Nope, Your dad is not alone. My boyfriend crochets a bit. Enough that when we went to the grand opening of a yarn shop in our area he took the mini-class on crochet flowers. He was the only man in the group and surprised the instructor when she realized that he was working right along with the rest of us. (little turkey won the hourly door prize of yarn and a really neat knitting book also. We still tease him about it Also he sews. Quite a bit actually! While I was demoing lace making at the local fair he was sitting right there sewing fabric hats. It was a bit funny to see guys with their wives doing a double-take when they saw Dan working right alongside me doing fantastic German Renaissance hats and talking about how they were shaped like they were due to the fabric size restrictions on the looms that were in common use in the area/time.

[lace] translating from French
Hi everyone I'm translating the text to the final pattern in the Cluny de Brioude book -the collar and cuffs- and I've come across three terms which neither the international lace dictionary, my (very large) French-English dictionary nor the Petit Larousse Illustre gives me any help with. Can anyone give me a clue as to the English equivalents of: 1. Passee a cheval (some sort of crossing or way to add in pairs in lace - I'm sure I've seen it in another lace book, but can't remember which one) 2. Viseline (probably interfacing, or a fabric which can be used as interfacing in dressmaking). 3. Point de Bourdon (some sort of hemstitch, or embroidery stitch for joining two pieces of fabric - or a piece of lace to cloth). (Excuse the lack of accents - I don't have a French keyboard) Beth in Cheshire, England - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [lace] translating from French
I do know one answer. Passee a cheval is the cluny method of joining a plait to a cloth trail. One pair becomes the worker and one pair becomes a passive.
