Re: [lace] Broomsticks?
I am not sure how large/small the broom stick needs to be, but my first thoughts are starting with a chop stick or meat skewer. Cut to length and add a few grass or raffia wisps to the end. Do show us a picture when it is finished. Lorri I have just finished the Presencia witch pattern and it was such fun to make. Vivienne suggests adding a broomstick which I would like to make. Anybody got any ideas on how to make a tiny broomstick?

[lace] My broomstick
I have succeeded in making a broomstick with a cut down kebab stick painted dark brown and some straw that I had left over from when I made my Honiton pillow. Now if the pesky thing would just stop flying around the room I could take a photo of it.

Re: [lace] My broomstick
Hi Ann Congratulations on getting your broomstick done and the witch fly. Just lucky it'll be a cloudy night, were it a full moon, she'd be out of the window, and then we'd never get to see a photo.

[lace] thread assistance please
Hi there, I have the morning to myself and have decided to have a go at a pattern that has been calling to me. BUT it is in German and I am trying to work out which thread would be best The pricking calls for Kleines Motiv in Halbschlag 6 Paare, Leinen 60/3 (Beine: je 3 Paare) Now I am guessing it means 6 pairs for the main body plus 3 pairs per leg (it is a lizard) Again a guess it is in linen 60/3 but which one!! Brenda's book lists the following linen as 60/3 Bockens Knyppelgarn (Swedish) at 23 wpc Campbell Linen (Irish) at 22 wpc Fresia Linen (Belgian) at 19 wpc So again I am guessing - as it is written in German it is either the Swedish or the Belgian thread. But which one?

Is it in a book? They may have a section at the beginning or end where they list which threads they were using for each size... my Brigitte Bellon christmas book is like that.

It's been my experience that, whenever linen (without a brand) is mentioned in the European books, chances are that Bockens is the one used, especially in odd sizes. It seems to be the most common/easily available brand... But, as Amanda pointed out, quite often there'll be a note of what had been used, somewhere near the beginning of the book.

Re: [lace] thread assistance please
If the pattern is all in half-stitch, you could try any equivalent you have on hand to 'a' linen 60/3 (take your pick of wraps from the 3 choices); half-stitch is accommodating. It can squinch tight or open broadly, as long as there are at least three pairs to traverse the space.
