[lace] lace gold

[Dearl Kniskern]

dear spiders
this thread is very interesting because I bought the software and have 
really enjoyed it

it does most of what has been told about lace 2000
so just to add my two cents worthI like and use lace gold   but I am 
still confused as I think I a person who does not feel at all computer literate
it takes a lot of time away from lace making to learn all the basics but 
after you learn it is easy (for Me)

thanks for listening

lace in for the new baby card.  So I'm looking for something to tat, or
something fairly modest in bobbin lace, or dead easy in needle lace.
Nothing too big or difficult so that I have time to borrow a book if
necessary from the UK Lace Guild library, make the lace and the card in less
than 2 months.  All suggestions welcome.

[lace] hankie poems

[Dearl Kniskern]

1.  The Magic Hanky

I'm just a little hanky
  As square as square can be;
But with a stitch or two,
  They made a bonnet out of me.
I'll be worn from the hospital
  Or on the Christening Day;
Then I'll be carefully pressed
  And neatly packed away.
For her Wedding Day,
  So we've been told
Every well-dressed bride must have
  That something old.
So what could be more fitting
  Then to find little me?
A few stitches snipped,
  And a wedding hanky I'll be.
And if per chance it is a BOY
  Some day he'll surely wed;
So to his bride
  He can present--the hanky
Once worn upon his head.
All you do is make a square hanky and fold in half.  At the fold half you
make a running stitch wide enough for a 1/8" or 1/4" ribbon to tie it.  then
up at the front corners I make a bow out the top of a piece of ribbon and
tack it on leaving enough hang to make a tie.  Does that make sense?  Then
you have a bonnet.
2.  Another version

This bonnet at first seems small in your hands.
A treasure of lace and ribbon bands.
But this gift is more then linen and charms.
For the sweet babe that rests in Mother's arms.
>From boxes long sealed she will search for the hat.
Snip off the ribbons then after that.
Hand over this handkerchief with a smile.
To her daughter in while who walks down the aisle.
Or maybe her son, a young handsome groom.
She will hand him a gift, a family heirloom.
He will give it to the one who lives in his heart.
To have and to hold till death them do part.
I have had several requests for this. I realize this isn't strictly lacy.
No patterns involved. But I hope all will bear with it and hit the delete
button if there aren't any babies in your future
Making the hat. You need a 12" handkerchief. Now you could cheat and buy
one with machine lace on it. Only I KNOW that no one on this list would do
that. I got lucky and purchased three lovely handkerchiefs in a second
hand store. They have beautiful drawn thread work and really nice rolled
edges. I haven't been real happy about the quality of the rolled edges on
"new" handkerchiefs.
Work the edging of your choice around the hanky. That was the hard part. I
tatted a very delicate single thread edge around mine, because the hanky
was so fine. I sewed the lace on after I finished tatting it, gathering it
slightly in the corners. Ok you now have a hanky with a nice lace edge on
it. The rest it a breeze.
Fold back one edge of the hanky a third.If you are making the hat for an
older baby you can make the folds less. Its your call.)
Sew a running stitch up about an inch from the fold, creating a casing.
Pull a ribbon through the casing. Tie the ribbon into a bow, gathering the
hat in. This is the back of the hat.
Front of the hat. Fold the front of the hat back a third, or whatever you
need to fit your baby. Sew a running stitch just under the lace. Turn back
each end and tack down. Add ribbon roses, bows or whatever you like. Tack
down ribbons for ties. The hat is done.
I got this of one of the Usenet groups a long time ago. There was no credit
to the author.

RE: [lace] Reprinting Miss Channer's Mat

[Dearl Kniskern]

well said
keep all the opinions coming
yours in lace
At 07:57 PM 9/7/2003, etherege wrote:
I am amazed.  I haven't been a part of this discussion, I don't intend to
make that mat.  But here is a publisher who has apparently (or wasn't that
correct??) informed Arachne members that the Channer mat is not in line for
republication anytime in the near future.  So what exactly is being lost if
Arachne members publicly explore the means by which they can obtain the
pricking?
I feel gratitude to any person or entity that has helped to revive the lace
tradition.  On the other hand, I am not assured that if that person or
entity had not acted, no one else would have.  And I strongly dislike being
reminded that I owe an eternal debt of gratitude -- please let me dispense
that of my own free will.
I have a copy, that I purchased of the Buck/Channer book.  It has a
photograph of the Channer mat on the front.  Maybe once it was sold with a
pricking, I don't know, but I have as much of a quibble with publishers who
sell pattern packs and books with an illustration that one might reasonably
assume to be included, as a publisher might have with me if I borrow a copy
of a pricking from a friend. Lots of different viewpoints out there.
Anyway, here is three cheers for free speech on Arachne, whether approved by
publishers, distributors, vendors, or who.

[lace] summer lace projects

[Dearl Kniskern]

dear listers
since bev has asked and told hehehehe
I will too
I am in the process of working a torchon bracelet for my 21 month old 
granddaughter
and she seems fascinated with the project and with the new knitted shawl I 
am making so we can sit in front of the tv during the cold winter months to 
come and be warm
the torchon is a new pattern I designed and only has a few spiders in it 
and the rest is torchon ground
but it is fun and fast
only 6 inches needed for her wrist
I found some plastic clear snaps to close it with
I know she will like it as she is really intrigued with the way I keep 
moving the bobbins
I just hope she continues to be fascinated and will take up the hobby when 
she is a few months older
all those going to convention please enjoy yourselves and learn a lot and 
then please please please tell us all about it when you return
thanks in advance

My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance.
Do not meddle in the affairs of  dragons for you are crunchy, and taste 
good with ketchup.

[lace] polishing bobbins

[Dearl Kniskern]

on the question of polishing bobbins
using a very fine steel wool will sometimes help
also finishing them will also help
either with  paint or varnish or sometimes beeswax also can help after the 
steel wool
hope this helps
