[lace] Re: summer is here
My IOLI Bulletin arrived yesterday (Friday) also, so I hope that Tamara receives her copy soon. Maybe the overseas ones get mailed early because they have further to go. I still have to finish reading it.

[lace] Hitting the reply Button
I'm afraid I am once more going to do a moan about the number of people hitting the reply button when replying to a message on Arachne. Brenda's message about the pillows she has been given has been repeated four times on one Digest because people don't take the time to just quote a line of the message so we know what is being replied to. Also very often the fact that the message has been cleared by a virus checker is repeated several times and so the Digest ends up being just one long repeat!!! Please consider those who have a limit on their downloads and so don't want this continual repetition of the same message. Moan over. Back to the lace! Love to all, Sue Fink, Masterton NZ. where it is freezing the brass monkeys if you get me!! - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [lace] information?
Perhaps make one yourself? The hardest part would be the core. Wind it tightly wind a too hot washsed and dried (to felt it) woolen blanket, or undercarpet of natuaral fibers. A cover cloth with a tight rope through the seams on either side. does that make any sense? Jo from the Netherlands Does anyone know if it is possible to purchase a lace pillow of the type used for Tignes or Cogne lace? These are the narrow width, large diameter hollow hoop-type pillows used with 'freehand' lace.

I heard/read somewhere about a person who made her own. She used the largest automotive air filter of the circular kind that she could find, then padded it to receive the pins, and wrapped the whole thing. I think it was a bit smaller than the pillow shown in a past OIDFA publication. Good luck with your quest.

There must be some other things in our current society that would make a sturdy circular base. A century back, an iron wagon wheel rim would have been great. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace] knit lace
Now that I finally have gotten my life back (Mom has moved to assisted living, Gerri well enough to go home) it's time to get on with things. Having spent most of the last year knitting,(it's easy to take to doctor appointments or bring to hospital visits) the mention of the knit stole KAL of course caught my attention. I had to join it, have been wanting to do knit lace. What a group! There are 6700+ of us signed up, most are actively knitting away. It's fun, but also frustrating. It would help a lot if I could count. It would help more if I could count the row more than once and get the same number. It *will* work out eventually. There is a fascinating link I just read, it's a PDF about lace types and has some patterns.

Ha! *That* problem I did manage to solve by myself (unlike the full screen button -- thanks to everyone who'd written to help) :) At the bottom of the screen there's a bar with times and such. And there's a button, on the left-hand side, which looks like this: || . It's a pause button. You hit it, and the film stops moving, so you can look at a particular picture as long as you want. When you're done, hit the same button (which now looks like an arrow) and the show resumes. -- Tamara P Duvallhttp://t-n-lace.net/ Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace] Summer's here -- finally :)
Gentle Spiders, My IOLI Bulletin came today (I suppose I'll have to re-think my contention that no interesting mail ever comes on Saturdays g)! My husband, alerted to my frustration (and the reasons for it) about the late arrival, got to it first and read the article -- something he never does anymore (used to, when my appearance in print was less regular). Complimented me on my writing (which I take seriously, since he'd spent *years* teaching literature at our U, correcting thousands of papers in the process, as well as reading the best writers and lit criticism all the time). And, finally, I got a chance to check the article out. Phew... didn't catch anything too glaringly wrong. But the Bulletin came with a fly in the ointment all the same. Debra Jenny, Editor-in-Chief of the Bulletin, has announced her desire to pass the job to someone else, come '08 IOLI Convention... I knew about it -- she'd called to let me know, since a change in editorship will also mean a change in the team -- but seeing it in print made the news just that much more stark and irrevocable. True, for me, it also means I won't have to worry anymore about delivering a pattern or an article every 3 months, to a deadline; I'll be able to provide something -- or not -- as the spirit moves me. If I want to take a quarter off to recharge batteries, I won't have to make sure first that she has enough material to fill the Bulletin without my contribution. But... Except for my own article, I haven't yet read the current Bulletin; I just flipped through it. But it was enough to see that it was jam-packed with interesting lace-stuff; I'm looking forward to several days of reading and digesting the contents. But, I believe it wouldn't be half as interesting if it weren't for Debra. I think that the quality of the material reflects Debra's superb stewardship/editorship of the Bulletin. She began to turn it around with the very first issue she was in charge of -- vol 23, #2 (Winter of the '02-'03 cycle) -- by adding colour to the outside and inside covers, which meant that I (and others) no longer had to send patterns off to Lace in UK, if we wanted to work up something other than all-white. And then she started assembling her team and expanding the number of editors. For instance, Devon Thein's position (Lace Study Editor) didn't even exist before Debra became the EiC, but now it's hard to imagine the Bulletin without Devon's -- well informed and witty -- contributions. I let myself be talked into BL editorship, because I recognized, early on, that we had a treasure in Debra and didn't want her to burn out or get frustrated at lack of support in the form of Bulletin material. And the better the Bulletin got, the more interesting contributions it attracted. Sigh... I'll miss Debra something dreadful. But we still have a year to go; 4 more issues... I guess the current team will have to make sure we go out with a bang, not a whimper :) -- Tamara P Duvallhttp://t-n-lace.net/ Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
