[lace] March 24th
Forgive me if this is a few days late, but didn't know until today. The Analytical Engine weaves algebraic patterns, just as the Jacquard loom weaves flowers and leaves. - Ada Lovelace All throughout the interwebs, March 24th was Ada Lovelace Day, named after the brilliant eighteenth-century mathematician and dedicated to celebrating women in science and technology. Bridget McGovern has an Ada Lovelace Day primer http://click.mail.macmillan.com/?qs=240af8d6381dceeb62c43352836802782e8b6775a0b566a601fb26164763ccff11b10a8354dd9c99 for us, with some links of interest, and Scott Brundage http://click.mail.macmillan.com/?qs=240af8d6381dceeba026498e9f8c3c4c04957e4039bd55ff8bc532eecd80e2a1 projects Ada's image into the future http://click.mail.macmillan.com/?qs=240af8d6381dceeb8d1f35b51e5362921db6e69d65d98564d6532252d5df3768d6a44cd308d93104; I was tempted to make a to infinity and beyond! joke, but I thought of Ada rolling her eyes at the very idea and desisted.

RE: [lace] Webshot pop ups
I have the checkbox ticked. Problem is it is not a traditional pop-up. This is not directly related to lace, But it is related to a website heavily used by our list members. The ads used to be acceptable but are currently so agressive it renders the site almost useless for my taste. I'd rather keep my system safe.

[lace] IOLI convention
When do we hear what classes we have managed to get into for the Portland IOLI convention? Do we get class requirements at the same time? I have only been to one convention - as a Teacher, so it was all a bit different! I am so looking forward to the trip, and meeting as many of you as possible while at Portland. Then we go north to Seattle to visit our daughter and family _ Helen in Seattle (formerly Helen in Denver!) So should be a Great trip. I am hoping to meet some of the Lacemakers of Puget Sound too. - One can never get too much lace - making chat, etc!!! :) Regards from Liz in Melbourne, Oz lizl...@bigpond.com - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

RE: [lace] Chaos Stitch
... The *chaos stitch* was the topic of interest to a number of the ladies and I was asked to bring some questions to the 'arachne table'. First now, am I correct in my recall, was the stitch thus - bringing the worker across the passives like this: HS,WS,HS and then on the return 'trip' the worker going back with the opposite movements, WS,HS,WS through each passive pair? Are there any pins placed? (Other than the outside edges.) Are there any crosses on the worker between the stiches? ... Nova (on Vancouver Island, B.C.) I did this in a binche piece and the color code was red - green - red - green which translates to half stitch (CT / TC) alternating with whole stitch (CTCT / TCTC). When more than 1 row is worked, the stitches are opposite the row above. CTCT alternates with CT.
