I've been planning to donate my lace supplies/equipment to my lace group with 
the instruction that they can use, share, sell, etc. as needed.  I figure the 
members will know people who need things.  Some of it can be kept for lending 
newcomers, some can supplement the library or create funds for supporting the 
group's activities.

You have the two smaller bobbins to indicate the thread for the lace,
the two thicker bobbins for the gimp
If you look up a pattern you will have the thread size for the pattern,
all is worked in silk so you have den as thread size (pattern 1 says 24
pairs in silk 90 den, 2 1/2 pairs in 900 den for the gimp, + 1 pair for
the corner

Re: [lace] New at LaceCurator.info

2013-07-30 Thread Ilske Thomsen
In my opinion the flowers in their pot shall only signify to represent a 
Flower-pot lace. They could be a lot of different flowers they are in a pot 
not in the water the swan is swimming. Or the swan is on land looking at the 
flower-pot. Or has somebody put the pot with the flowers into the lake. 
Or is the swan a soul of a girl like in Swanlake.
Ok, I am stoping now.

Does anyone have a copy of Flight of Eagles by Anny Nobens Slegers that they 
might be interested in selling? Please contact me privately. Thank you,

Never ever through anything out.
Firstly give or sell them to other lacemakers in your area. Many lace 
guilds or groups have a mechanism to recycling old magazines / books etc 
to newer members be it a sign at a lace day saying 'free to a good home' 
or selling them for a small cost and using the money for library books.

Secondly many OP shops will accept them and sell them on to interested 
parties. my knitting group always goes there for extra knitting needles 
and old knitting patterns.

Thirdly donate them to a local school or church group for their annual 
fair, most have a secondhand or preloved table with books and other bits 
and pieces. I once bought a huge selection of tatting patterns at a 
charity fair (these were taken from magazines and on the surface did not 
look good but the patterns were lovely).

Forthly offer to send out a list of what you have (ie we contact you 
privately) and if we want them then we can pay you the postage for your 
magazines.

Finally there is ebay

 Hi,

 I was going over some old lace magazines and was wondering what you are
 doing with them. Do they end up in the recycling bin or do you give them to
 other lace makers.

 I have so many magazines and I want to down size a bit. To tell the truth
 many are already old fashioned. There are so many new ideas around that
 these magazines are just  passe.
