One is a dragon named Puff that was sold in aid of the Lace Guild Headquarter Fund (in the 1980s, I think). It has a tape lace trail outlining the dragon with fillings. The second pattern is a kitten with ball - done in the same style with tape lace and fillings. If you would like to take part in this raffle, send me your name and address and I will pull a name out of the hat on April 1st. Good luck, Kathy Hensel -in Marcola, Oregon, where Spring has arrived with warm temperatures and Spring showers - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

[lace] Help Please with Italian translation
Dear Lacemakers- I have received a message from someone about a lace pattern on Facebook but cannot get a satisfatory translation from any of the several translators online. Can any of you who speak Italian please help? This lady's message reads: MI PROTESTI SPEDIRE IL DISEGNO PER FAVORE ,QUANTO COSTA. Salve ,uno qualsiasi sono una principiante .possibilmente non tondo.parlo di un disegno a tombolo. The online translators only give part of it. One came up with: I am a beginner, not quite round. Another: PROTEST SHIP DRAWING ME PLEASE, HOW MUCH IT COSTS. Thank you in advance for any help you can give. Kathy Hensel -in Marcola, where they are logging the hill adjacent to our home and the house keeps shaking - it is rattling my nerves! - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

[lace] Lace diagrams
Dear Lacemakers- On the subject of diagrams, I find diagrams extremely useful and do try to make the lace without continuously looking back at the diagram. Sometimes it takes working a couple of repeats, but with each repeat of the pattern it is easier to make the lace without the diagram. When taking a class, having a very precisely drawn diagram with all twists marked clearly is a great help to learn the lace with all its fine points. I recently took a class where the teacher said she doesn't mark the twists. This creates confusion. Yes, lace can be made with variations to the stitches used but when trying to learn a particular type of lace, I like to learn the lace as it was done traditionally before using non-traditional techiniques. I guess I am saying you need to learn the rules before you can change the rules. Another advantage to having a diagram is that when your memory begins to fail or life gets complicated and your lace knowledge gets pushed to one side, when you sit back down to your lace pillow after a time away - you can refresh your memory by referring to the diagram. Post-it notes and diagrams and lists (and talking out loud to yourself) are just ways of keeping all that information in your brain better organized and more easily retrievable. Kathy -in cold Marcola, Oregon (sunny but near freezing this morning) Date: Sun, 30 Oct 2011 10:30:11 - From: Alex Stillwell alexstillw...@talktalk.net Subject: [lace] Lace diagrams Hi Robin Re: I, however, learn a whole lot more having a diagram than without it. Without the diagram or someone to show me at least one way to work a difficult part, When you have no teacher or opportunity to learn from others these diagams have their place, and a big place too. Also you are one of the 'thinkers' who will learn from the examples in the diagrams and use them elsewhere. Many do not and faithfully continue follow diagrams for years without thinking about how it all works. They are my concern. Best wishes and continue puzzling over the diagrams Alex - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

[lace] And the winner of the Binche poster is...
Last night I put all 39 names on little pieces of paper, folded them and put them into a box. My husband, John, stirred them round and round with our 2 Scotties watching attentively. (They must have thought they were going to get something good to eat). Then -he picked Debbie Marowitz in Israel - Congratulations!! Thank you to everyone who sent me their name for the raffle - wish all could have won the raffle but there was only one poster. Kathy -in Marcola, where yesterday's snowfall has almost all melted and we are back to the usual gentle Oregon rain. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

[lace] Binche Poster Raffle
Hello to all lacemakers, I am popping out of lurkdom with a little help from a friend. Having enjoyed reading the Arachne postings, participating in exchanges and even winning a couple of raffles over the years - it is time to offer a raffle. Up for raffle is a laminated poster of Binche lace. It has been on display in my lace room for several years but is still in good condition. The poster has been out of the sun so it has not faded. It has a vibrant blue background behind the lace and measures 18 inches by 27 inches. Anyone interested in being included in the raffle may send me an email privately at: kathhen...@yahoo.com I will have my hubby pick a lucky name on February 10th. This should give time for digest members to see this posting. I will send the poster rolled in a tube anywhere in the world. Good luck!
