Re: [lace] Travel again
Thank you so much, Avital, you are right and that is why we are happy to have you als moderator! Gabriele Avital schrieb: Before you all start writing again about travel, please RE-READ my original message below. I said unless you're actually describing lace classes or views of a lace collection. Clarification: Sr. Claire's visits to lace collections are absolutely on-topic. Francis' experiences at IOLI will be (I presume) on-topic. Boob-sightings and quests for natural yogurt are not on-topic. Summary: Of course travel descriptions go off-topic from time to time. We're all human and have lives away from the bobbins and shuttles. I ignore these off-topic tangents. It's when they start to spawn threads of their own about yogurt or go on and on with very little lace content that I need to step in. Although many of you are interested in off-topic chat, I have to think of the people who are very busy and want to read primarily about lace, so that they don't have to wade through their digests looking for lace content. If you don't want to subscribe to lace-chat for any reason, you can bookmark the lace-chat archives (http://www.mail-archive.com/lace-c...@arachne) and follow the various threads until they end. Another possibility is for the travel-writer to set up, in most email address books, a group that sends emails to lace-chat and to anyone who doesn't subscribe to lace-chat but wants to receive those emails. It's fairly rare for me to step in and ask that a thread be moved. Most of you are very good about moving off-topic chat to lace-chat. I'm trying to protect the interests of all subscribers. Since we do have a chat list, it doesn't make sense to turn the main lace list into a chat list. BTW, if anyone is making, say, a cross-country road trip and wants to post about their adventures, the best way to do it is on a blog. It's incredibly easy to set one up, they can be updated minute by minute, and people can subscribe to your blog for updates. I've been using http://www.wordpress.com because it has some very good tools and templates.

Re: [lace] selling lace-imitations
Jean Nathan schrieb: Alice wrote: It is not legal to sell lace made from a copyrighted pattern without the permission of the designer. I thought it was illegal to sell the pattern, not the finished lace. The design is the copyright of the designer, but the finished lace made by you isn't unless it's a kit sold by the designer. Dress, knitting and other patterns are copyrighted too, so that would mean that you couldn't, for example, knit a sweater for someone and charge them for your time and materials. Any copyright experts on the list? Not an expert, but just now dealing wir the German law. Copyright is always a big thing for lacemakers and as I design pattern, I wanted to know what it is about. The German copyright says (my translation, not seen through by a lawyer), it protects the designer’s relationship ... to his design. It secures at the same time an appropriate payment for the utilization of his work.” It also says, that the author decides if, how and in which way his work may be published. - This may affect exhibitions as well. Copyright law mostly deals with authors of books and music, but it is - as long as I know - the only law we can deal with. I am interested to hear other opinions. If someone wants to read the complete German text: http://bundesrecht.juris.de/urhg/BJNR012730965.html#BJNR012730965BJNG000801377 By the way, I remember a process in Austria, some years ago, known as the Häkelblumenmassaker (crotchetflower-massacre in lack of a better translation). A designer drew crotchet pattern for 3-D-flowers and sold the pattern to needlework shops. Some of these shops used the pictures of the crotcheted flowers in order to advertise the pattern. A clever lawyer and the designer (not so clever, I think) sued these shops for illegaly using the fotos and they won. They earned a lot of money. But I think, law is not the only aspect on copyright. It has as well to do with respect and a kind way to deal with one another. Of course it annoys me, when a group of lacemaker stands in front of me and discusses who will be the first to copy my design. And, when I think about it, I am not amused, if someone works my pattern and earns money with it. Can we compare it to Mr Addidas who fights the copying of his shoes?

Re: [lace] scarf pattern
Steph Peters schrieb: On Wed, 27 Aug 2008 09:24:57 -0700 (PDT), Janice wrote: There is an important factor to consider if you do the scarf in separate sections, joining as you go. When you unpin the worked section of the scarf it will pull in from the pricking size. You are going to have to restretch the first section to repin it down for joining the second section, and then the same again for joining the third section to the second. The type of silk I have seen used in Germany for these scarves seems to pull in a lot, so this could be a real difficulty to overcome. May be I mentioned earlier: whenever you work with silk, make the lace wet and let it dry before you pull out the pins. It will pull in much lesser and hold the shape better.

Re: [lace] scarf pattern
Hello Janice, I don't know the scarf, but Obere Schalkante - Anfang means upper edge of the scarf - start or Der Schal wird mit drei verschiedenen Farben gekloppelt. The scarf is done with three different colors The pattern looks like it can be made in three parts as there is what appears to be a dotted line down the pattern between each part. The pattern is marked anhakeln at the end of that line. Am I correct? I think so. Over each part it states the number of pairs used. What does Streifen mean? strips I hope this helps a bit, greetings from Gabriele, Chemnitz, Germany - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [lace] Do you know?
Hello Alex, both designers are dead, so you will have to ask the publisher. Greetings, Gabriele Alex Stillwell schrieb: Dear Lacemakers My friend Jean Eke and I are working on a website that should soon be ready for viewing. We shall each have a page about our lace an there will be a pattern page that will change periodically. My lace page will start with the saga of my 'Greek Gods!!'. I am hoping to begin with the pieces of lace that inspired the design and would like to trace the following people who made the lace or included pictures in their books to ask for permission to include pictures. Full credits will be given, and also my thanks for the inspiration they have given me. The pieces of lace are Lace by Professor Emilie Palickova (there is an accent over the 'a' but I cannot find how to add it) on pages 122 124 in the book '20th-Century Lace' by Ernst-Erik Pfannschmidt. Mills Boone 1975. Lace by Leni Matthaei on pages 23 33 of the book with that name written by Inge Muhlensiepen. VerlagM H Schaper Hannover 1980.

It's been my experience that, whenever linen (without a brand) is mentioned in the European books, chances are that Bockens is the one used, especially in odd sizes. It seems to be the most common/easily available brand... This is what I would say as well, but, Jenny, can you tell us from which book it is? May be I have it and can see what I find.

Re: [lace] Wilder ground
Gisela Wirtz' book on Tape lace: Klöppeln am laufenden Band (Barbara Fay Verlag) shows many different ways how to turm simle tapes into wild ones and gives many interesting ideas what to do with those tapes.
