[lace] New at www.LaceCurator.info: Crocheted Maltese Lace
New at www.LaceCurator.info is crocheted Maltese lace. It seems to me that crocheting lacemakers are more likely than any other lacemakers to produce crocheted variations of many other lacemaking techniques. Ive seen crocheted Cluny, reticella, point plat, Gros Point, Battenberg, filet and others. Anyone care to share thoughts on why? Whats the most innovative imitation youve seen?

[lace] American Textile Museum
At: http://www.yankeemagazine.com There is a well illustrated article on Lowell, Mass., concentrating mostly on the Textile Museum. It is low in text and rich in photographs. On the home page scroll down and below Shelburne VT you will find A day in downtown Lowell/A.T.M. If the link doesn't work simply searching for Yankee magazine works fine, too.

I'll take a stab, two actually - 1. you only need a ball of thread and a crochet hook 2. it's faster. Having done filet/lacis, bobbin lace, and needlelace - seems to me that crochet is faster. I can make a reticella like medallion in an evening, where doing the same thing in actual reticella takes me days. OK, theory #3 - more portable. At least for lacis or bobbin lace. You could argue one way or the other over needlelace.

Re: [lace] New at www.LaceCurator.info: Crocheted Maltese Lace
I'd agree with both, and add that in comparison to needlelace there's less preparation no need to lay out foundation threads, etc. You just pick up the hook and go. It's also easier to correct mistakes. Katrina Worley kwor...@mac.com -- History: special people in special places at special times Anthropology: everyone else the rest of the time.

ribbon for second place at the New York State Fair. I put a picture of the bookmark and ribbon.up on my blog. Address in signature. I have to thank Jean Leader for the design that burned my A_ _ to learn how to do bobbinlace and to in the end finish it and get a ribbon for it. I love this design. Maybe in the coming months will attack one of her other designs.

Re: [lace] re Fan in Flanders lace
Hi Jeanette, Sorry to post this to the entire list, but my emails to your personal address are returned to me as undeliverable - probably by your security system because of my email address. It is a valid address but, unfortunately, it is similar to those that scammers and hackers from eastern europe have. It's the single letter after the @ and before the .com. I've had trouble of this kind before. Yes, I need to change my address, and I'm not looking forward to it. I haven't forgotten your request for the binche fan patterns. I moved this past spring and cannot yet find all my things, especially my lace and sewing things. I should be able to locate the patterns sometime this week. In the meantime, I'll email Anny. If you could somehow convince your security system to accept my emails, I would be very grateful.

Ive seen crocheted Cluny, reticella, point plat, Gros Point, Battenberg, filet and others. Personally, I've always half-wondered if it isn't low self-esteem. Crochet was for many years very commonly done and had no real glory. So many people turned up their noses, Oh, that's just crochet! So people imitated other laces to prove that they can do beautiful and special things with their technique. I know I'm not expressing it well, but I have a feeling it's about the attitude of crocheters and how their craft was looked down on. Then there's the problem that so few people knew the other lace techniques so why not crochet the designs? All you need to know is the one lace technique and you can do any kind of lace in the history of humanity! Robin P.
