Re: [lace] Re Miss Channer goes Chantilly
Hi David - This version of Miss Channer's mat outshines your first effort with the mat! Can you tell me please... aside from reducing the size and using black silk instead of white cotton, what else are you doing to work this as Chantilly rather than Bucks? I applaud anyone who can take a pattern (and, as we know, Miss Channer's Mat is just a pricking - no diagram!), and work it in a way that pleases them.

So my doily is 9 (22.5 cm) long David I am curious, can you tell me what the dimensions are for Miss Channer's mat? It looks like you are working on a large block pillow and also that the mat fits onto one of the blocks. I had always imagined this piece was about 2 foot long. How big is your center block? Maybe someone else can answer the first question as David may have gone walk about at this time of the year.

Once while demonstrating lace a gentleman who had lived in Paraguay came up to talk about it. He was very pleasantly surprised to find that we knew what it was and where it was from. And I loved the Paraguayan harp music in the background! There is a Paraguayan man here in California who plays the Paraguayan harp and I have heard him play many times. He even recognizes me now!

Re: [lace] Portland Lace Society - State of Oregon, USA
Dear Lynda, Thank you for this address notice. Members may want to correct their IOLI Handbook for Members. Please - include your state name in your publicity for the International Old Lacers Inc. convention in Portland, Oregon (on the west - Pacific - coast of the U.S.) One of the Portlands in America is Portland, Maine. It is the northeast-most state on the Atlantic coast of the U.S. When news reports say only Portland, we Mainers ask which one? After all, Portland in Maine is the largest city in our state! There are other Portlands - in states of Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas. Maybe some others? A large number of members of Arachne are located in other nations. America is large, and her geography is confusing. Indeed, this American lacemaker actually gets letters from lace friends in other nations asking what our 2-letter state abbreviations translate to, and where are they.

Re: [lace] Re Miss Channer goes Chantilly
Hi Rhiannon - The mat pricking was produced and sold by Ruth Bean, but has long been out of print. Ruth Bean holds the copyright, and when contacted about re-publishing the mat, the response was that there were no plans to do that. Sorry!! Maybe someone else (in the UK, perhaps) has more recent information? Clay Rhiannon Mann wrote: I believe David was working on his resizing back in 2003 according to the archive- is this so?

RE: [lace] Lace RXP
Janice, there are many aspects to think of when discussing grids. First, there is the *angle* of grid - and there is indeed a greater number in Lace RXP. Lace 2000 had a number of angles listedbut in Lace RXP, you can choose your own angle - anywhere from 5 degrees to 85 degrees. There is the *size* of grid - and while the list in both programmes is much the same, there is always the option in either programme to choose an infinite range of sizes - all you need to do is click on the User Defined button when Choosing by Grid, and you can put any size grid in you like (and I've used some very strange ones to achieve the perfect size, I can assure you!) However, what I was referring to is the way Ian has programmed the grids generally. And this is hard to explain. Effectively, if I understand what he said correctly, (and please remember, I'm a lacemaker not a computer programmer), there is a greater number of steps in each gridwhich overall allows for more accurate placement of your dots. However, it does mean that whereas in Lace 2000, if you were checking for duplicate dots, 0 pixels meant that not only dots right on top of each other were picked up, but others within a very close distance of the grid, in Lace RXP there isn't that leeway.So you might have a duplicate dot which in Lace 2000 would've been considered 0 pixels away from the next one, and in Lace RXP it isn't, and it won't be picked up by putting 0 in the pixel box.In those cases, you'll find that if you put a larger number (try 2 or 4) in the pixel box, you *will* pick up dots very close to each other. And this does raise another question which I've been asked about many times over the years!! Some people get very upset when they're cutting and pasting, or flipping or rotating, because, although they've had Snap to Grid on, their flipped, pasted, rotated pattern looks as if it is off the grid. And this has been accentuated in Lace RXP by the new grids. Again, let me try and explainthere are a certain number of steps in the grid across a distance of one inch. However, the steps are so tiny that, in some cases there are x of them in an inch, and sometimes y.it's a bit like the effect we get with both the calendar and time, where every so often we have to adjust the calendar by having a Leap Year, and the clocks by adding a second to keep the time accurate. So, if you happen to draw a pattern repeat on a section of the grid where there are x steps, then paste it or rotate it to a section where there are y steps, then on the screen the pattern will look off the grid. In discussing this with Ian during testing, I pressed him to put a figure on this offness - and it was 1/76th of an inch I've always assured people that the difference was minimal, and that they wouldn't be able to tell the difference by the time they printed out their pattern, so I was very interested to hear Ian's calculations and his reply. Because if you can see the difference if one section of your pattern is 1/76th of an inch out, then you've got much better eyes than I have (VBG) Ruth thelacema...@optusnet.com.au -Original Message- From: owner-l...@arachne.com [mailto:owner-l...@arachne.com] On Behalf Of Janice Blair Sent: Sunday, 22 February 2009 6:44 AM To: lace Subject: [lace] Lace RXP Ruth wrote: 1.

RE: [lace] Re Miss Channer goes Chantilly
Rhiannon, I believe David was working on his resizing back in 2003 according to the archive- is this so? That was probably when I actually resized the pricking. I have to confess that I did it first in order that it would fit on to one A4 page :) And I'm fairly sure that I had to take it to the local printers to get that done as there was no way then that I could scan anything larger than A4 (still can't). However, today I would probably try photographing the pricking with my digital camera - then fiddling. Nine inches does not seem very big; that must need some extra special patience. Nah - patience has just never been an issue with me. The whole exercise of lace making is always like meditation therapy. That is of course until something drastic goes wrong. The language that issues forth then could hardly be called meditative!! (As witnessed the entire Melbourne Lace Group one days some years ago when a certain woman knock my pillow on to the floor). Top work tho' David- your three day updates are making me keep on working my edging to get my black thread out for some katstich patterns!
