Hi Arachnids

Sorry false alarm, but better safe than sorry. Fortunately no one has replied
about receiving strange emails so I assume there is no problem. Perhaps it is
because I followed advice given by an Arachnid several years ago about adding
a false email address consisting of a number of letter ‘a’s at the
beginning of my  address book. Our thanks to you for suggesting it.

Happy lacemaking

Alex

[lace] DP - IOLI Arachne lunch 2014

2013-10-25 Thread Janice Blair
I heard on the convention grapevine that the hotel in Sacramento want to
charge $24 for an Arachne box lunch next year, and I don't know if there will
be additional taxes.  I know last year was $25 and some of us thought that was
an awful lot for the amount of food we received.  Can I get the opinion of
those who are likely to be attending next years convention whether they wish
to proceed at this price, or whether we should just arrange to meet somewhere
in the hotel at lunchtime for our get together. Maybe we could descend on the
restaurant and ask for a table for 24 :-)   I have posted to both Lace and
Chat, but please reply to Chat or to me privately as I do not want to clutter
the list up with non-lace emails.  A decision needs to be made before the
Bulletin deadline.

[lace] Old Beds

2013-10-25 Thread Lorelei Halley
I'm sorry to say this, but the clothwork parts in David's piece look a little
suspicious.  The passives make vertical ridges.  That happens in machine made
laces, not handmade cloth stitch.  And the picots on the edge are rather
peculiar, too.  Far too long.  But I'm not certain.

[lace] translations Honiton video

2013-10-25 Thread hottleco
Hello All!  Since I recently purchased some lace texts in German, the new OIDFA 
translation service got a workout yesterday.  Terrific--many thanks to all who 
helped!  May I ask--there are 44 English to German translations  51 German to 
English translations.  Does this mean that there are duplicate words with the 
same meaning or does it mean that there are 7 more words that could easily be 
added to the English side?  In addition to the OIDFA translator, there is a  
drop-dead gorgeous lace top on view--WOW!  The various online translation 
services helped me out as well for basic text, although crack couples for 
Risspaare (passives) made me chuckle.  Are we making lace or doing drugs?!?  
LOL   So perhaps this is a good time to thank Martina Wolter-Kampmann for being 
proactive in publishing a translation of her book on Invisible starts  
finishes--German  English are on either side of the diagrams on the same page. 
 Thanks also to Adele for posting the link to the Honiton vid!
 eo.  When I sent it to a friend, she replied that she didn't think of Prince 
Charles as cute but changed her mind after seeing him in the christening gown!  
Wishing everyone a lacy weekend.  Sincerely, Susan Hottle, Erie, PA USA

Re: [lace] translations Honiton video

2013-10-25 Thread Clay Blackwell
Hi Susan!

I am sure I am not the most knowledgeable person to answer your question, but I 
have had numerous years experience with the same question!

What I have learned, essentially, is that the German language has far fewer 
words, but each word can mean many things, depending on the context!  Within 
the German-speaking world, unless you have been exposed to lacemaking and have 
learned the German terms which have beed adopted  to describe lacemaking, even 
if you are a native German, you can read a German lacemaking book and not have 
a clue what it means!

For those of us who are English-speaking, this is eye-opening!  But there are 
other languages that share the same nuances, and so this is why it is so 
difficult to go to the on-line translation programs and get anything meaningful 
from the translation.

Lots of luck!  The better approach may be to ask if anyone on the list has (or 
knows of) a translation for the book you have acquired.

[lace] Arachne lunch

2013-10-25 Thread Whitham, Irene Steve
Dear Janice and others

I enjoyed meeting other Arachne members very much!  The lunch was just lunch
and overpriced!

I think we will see more participants if the cost was lower and that's what
this is about!  

Thanks for taking this on,

Recently i went to a family reunion and found a Golden Corral buffet in
Texas 2 miles from my hotel.  Their price was under $10 and i got a senior
discount for both my children too.  their offering was extremely varied and
you could get a steak or sea food cooked to your specifications as well as
the usual offerings of salads, deserts and such.  they did not push you to
leave so we were able to visit and just kept going back for more offerings
for 2 hours.  don't know if there is one available but highly recommend it.
