[lace] Edinburgh Lace Club Friendship Day
I do not know whether this has been posted on Arachne as I been off piste as they say for a while. Saturday 17th October 2009 is Edinburgh's Lace Club's Friendship Day at St Anne's Parish Church Hall, Kaimes Road, Corstorphine 10am - 4pm. Tickets are only £3.00 and as the name suggests it is a friendly opportunity to go and share your love of lace making with a great bunch of people. The best thing is that you have an excuse to sit down all day on Saturday and make lace - legitimately!!! I am sorry that I cannot make it to Edinburgh but I wish them all the best.

Re: [lace] Alexandra Palace
Hi Jacquie and Sue, et al, Your threads (both metaphorical and physical ..) made me smile!I have quite a stash of Oliver Twists, but also quite a few of the late Mr Piper's silks in beautiful colours.He was a lovely man, and he used to let me have 'left-over' reels of coloured silks when my Mother was hand-embroidering pictures, so I have quite a lot which I feel are far too wonderful to use. The polythene packets are a good idea to keep them dry and clean, though!

Are you supposed to *do* something with them Most people seem to keep them in their little colour-range packets. They are much easier to drool over that way and they don't get damp!

Re: [lace] Alexandra Palace -silk threads
Drooling and dreaming over the wonderful colours are therapeutic in themselves! I have just bought some of Bart Francis' blue silks, and haven't a clue what to do with them, but the blues against the gold are just so beautiful.

[lace-chat] Chestnut adventure
Hi All, DH got a bunch of edible chestnuts a couple weeks ago. THe spiny pods opened up to reveal the brown nuts. Then he broke some open and has been eating the raw ones and giving me some. A couple days ago I tried roasting a bunch of them, hence the adventure. I poked the holes with a fork and put them in the oven as suggested by Joy of Cooking. I started with 15 minutes and should have left it at that! About a quarter of them burst!! And of course the bits burnt in the oven so I was waving a towel and put the fan in the window to get the smoke out. (We have VERY loud smoke detectors!!) I ate some of the roasted ones and I still don't like them very much. They are so mealy in texture. DH is still eating them. I do like the delicate flavor but I had expected something crunchy. How are they put into stuffing? Any chestnut suggestions from anyone?
