[lace] Tally aid

It's not only keeping the threads apart, for which I've tried several 
things, but keeping the tension on the passive threads. I can't feel the 
tension. In straight stitches such as whole stitch, I can only gauge the 
tension of both the passives and workers by sight. Even with something as 
thick (relatively) as Madeira Tanne 50, it's not unusual for me to find I 
have a bobbin in my hand with a broken thread attached, purely because I've 
no idea how much/little tension I've put on it.

[lace] Favourite stitches new web site

2008-08-29 Thread Gray, Alison J
Dear All



Having given it a bit of thought I've decided that my favourite stitch
is probably spiders, because you can usually see if you've gone wrong
straight away.  And I find there's a lot of satisfaction in doing
spiders.



I definitely won't be joining those who love half stitch; I've got to
undo a large area of half stitch because it doesn't look right and I
just can't see where it's gone wrong!



And well done to Alex and Jean for their web site, it was easy to
navigate.  And also well done for not trying to put too much on a page
which people are sometimes tempted to do and which makes it look
cluttered.  I look forward to seeing it develop in the future.

Hi all,
Since I am young in my bobbin lacemaking career(5 years), I am unfamiliar
with a lot of the terminology like honeycomb.  Is there a picture somewhere
online that you could show me some of these stitches you have been talking
about? I tried a google image search and didn't come up with anything
concrete.  It would be nice to see examples to associate with the terms like
apple blossom filling or brabant ground, etc. I can't say which stitch I
like best.  Still exploring!!!  I am familiar with most basic torchon
stitches and have dabbled in Bruges, Milanese, Russian Tape Laces, Honiton.
Currently working in Bruges Flower Lace.

And since many of you seem to like the half stitch(I like it as well and
have no problem with it), if you want a good HS project to really sink your
bobbins into, here is a doily I recently finished from Edna Sutton's book
Bruges Flower Lace:

http://tinyurl.com/6mkm7y

That is made entirely of HS, minus the fillings and edging.  I may have
shown this piece on this list before, but thought to mention it again since
the HS is being talked about. :)

Dear Friends,
Don't you just love doing Honeycomb stitch??? I do.

I did a big mob of it today. I just find it so gorgeous with it's 
tessellating hexagons - not to mention the way it fills whole areas so quickly.


Perhaps you have a favourite stitch you'd like to tell us about
David in Ballarat


Hi All,

Yes I love honeycomb.  (David, are you working on the Toender 
again?)  To me, it is always SO point ground, although you see it in 
other laces. too.  The first time i worked it in a little Bucks 
edging, I wrote in ecstasy to the list about all the bubbles on my pillow.


And I am definitely in the halfstitch camp.  I love half stitch in 
Chantilly, where it positively scintillates, since the tilt of each 
bit of half stitch changes.  It's kind of the same effect as Thai 
silk where the warp and the weft are different colors (sometimes 
called shot silk?).  In Chantilly, you add and remove pairs madly to 
keep the half stitch consistent, instead of letting it inflate and 
deflate to cover the available territory.


But what could keep happy enough to skip meals is Binche 
snowflakes!  sigh..

Hello All,
it's a bit late, I know, but I want to send you my thaughts about this  
subject too.
In my opinion we should stop to look about those old books and the  
terminologie in there. the vocabulary of lace has changec a lot since  
the book of Mincoff and others. And it makes things only more  
complicate if we stack to them.
I told you once the story I found in an English lace book from about  
1880. There is written Barbara Uthman invented lacemaking. She lived  
in Harz mountain. The thruth is, she doesn't invent anything about  
lacemaking. She forced the people in Erzgebirge to learn lacemaking  
for earning their living. ANd she szcced in this. And she is born and  
lived in Erzgebirge not in the Harz Mountain.

Hoping that I could convince you.

Greeting

Ilske

The honeycomb stitch is the stitch used in the oval rings running down 
the center of the fan.  However, in Bucks, the stitch would have two 
twists before and after each pin used in the honeycomb design.  It looks 
like there is one stitch used in the fan.  Also, with a different angle, 
the stitch looks slightly different.  In Bucks, as well, the stitch is 
usually used to fill an area of a design, not as the design element itself.


Lovely fan by the way!

2008-08-29 Thread Janice Blair
Mark,
I think your fan has Roseground not Honeycombe.  Honeycombe has six pinholes,
one at top, two on the sides and one at the bottom.  It is usually surrounded
by a gimp which makes it look like round holes.  It is also one of my
favorites.  Roseground is definitely not a favorite of mine.  I seem to get
lost and there are so many variations I tend to forget which one I am doing
and make a mess of it.  Roseground is a Torchon stitch and Honeycomb is a
point ground stitch.

I really like doing many of the Milanese braids and can't choose a favorite
amongst those, except I do like Running River.  I have used that a number of
times in my designs.

I had another look at Mark's fan - there is honeycomb in the centre of the
silver gimp surrounded flowers towards the outer edge, but just individual
honeycombs, pushed apart by the heavy gimp.   The ground closer to the
centre is roseground.

Honeycomb is my favourite ground in Torchon too - I designed myself a
bookmark with the edge a cloth stitch trail down the sides and filled with
just honeycomb, and I can do one in a few sittings if I need a gift bookmark
in a hurry.  If anyone wants a copy, email me direct and tell me what size
grid or thread, and I'll create a PDF file out of Lace RXP and email it to
you.  No directions, just a pricking.

I do believe that Mark has Honeycomb stitch in the 4 petal flowers 
closer to the upper edge.  In Torchon, Honeycomb stitch comes out 
elongated and looks more like ovals than circles from the 45 degree 
ground vs. round in the 60 degree (or so) ground in point ground.


Roseground is easier in Torchon since every corner gets a pin. (At 
least, I think so).

I was looking at the trail of rose ground referred to previously, and did not
see the area Patty refers to, but I still believe that is not correct
honeycomb as the gimp should be inside the two middle pin holes.  Mark's
honeycomb has 8 pinholes, not six.  I have not come across an 8 pinhole
honeycomb, but then, I have not done a whole lot of pointground and may have
missed this feature.

Dear Bev,


many thanks for those great looking recipes.


It was also some time before I knew that the British say 'pudding' for
what we call 'dessert' (where we say what's for dessert...)


I think the Brits are the same as us. However, for us a pudding must 
be hot and baked. We can still say What's for dessert? But that 
could include such gorgeous things as cold Pavolva, or hot or cold 
lemon meringue pie - anything sweet following the main course.

I think it is a matter of dialect in England. Our family have always 
called it pudding, regardless of being hot or cold. Pudding as part of 
the name implies hot, just as Sundae suggests ice-cream (though we have 
one chain of restaurants at the moment that has a non ice-cream sundae 
on its menu). Dessert in terms of the name of the course is a word we 
see more on restaurant menus, and puds are also referred to as sweets. 
It used to be that after the main course in certain restaurants, the 
sweet trolley would be brought round - these would be cold, though. 
However, we all use dessert spoons to eat them with, no matter what we 
call them!

I keep seeing responses to messages from David Collyer but I don't see  the
originals ever.  I don't understand how this can be as I don't seem to  be
missing anyone else's.  Can anyone with more computer know how than I  (not
difficult that!) offer any kind of explanation?

Well, David is in Australia and a lot of the replies are coming from 
the U.S. and other parts west of both you and David.  The 
International Date Line may be re-ordering the messages as they come 
in.  The replies may be coming in the day before David's post!  He 
was trying to go to bed as I recall.
