I think the major will have trimmed it off, but there's a possibility that the preview photo that comes up on my phone from the link to the Arachne Flickr account may come through at the end of my email - I was trying to trim everything off and delete the photo when I hit send by mistake.

[lace] Apologies/IOLI convention
Hi Joepie, my auto correct changed your name to Jeep and I did not notice before I hit send. I am looking forward to hearing about the tours at IOLI convention as I have never been to the Philadelphia area and depending on choices I might decide to do a Wednesday class. I hope they post that info soon.  If anyone spots it going on line, please announce it on Arachne.

[lace] APOLOGIES!!! THREADS FOR HOLLIE POINT
PLEASE ACCEPT MY SINCERE APOLOGIES FOR THE PREVIOUS EMAIL WHICH APPEARED WITH ONLY HALF OF MY REPLY. I DID DELETE THE WHOLE OF JULIE'S LENGTHY EMAIL SO DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED THERE. I'VE GOT A NEW LAPTOP AND AM STILL LEARNING HOW TO HAVIGATE MY WAY AROUND WINDOWS 10! I CAN ONLY APLOGISE ONCE AGAIN FOR MY INCOMPETENCE. Original message >From : catherinebar...@btinternet.com Date : To : jsyz...@comcast.net, lace@arachne.com Subject : Re: [lace] thread for Hollie Point Hi Julie Well as you've already discovered, choice of thread for any type/style of lace is very personal and what suits one person is no necessarily the choice of another. Brenda Paternoster is the accepted expert on threads and if you don't already have a copy of her invaluable little book 'Threads for Lace', I would recommend that you get hold of a copy as soon as you can. Threads are continually going out of production and as I worked the sample in my book with a No 120 Copley Marshall thread that was no longer available by the time my book was published, I suggested either a Brok cotton 160 or Egyptian cotton 120 which would give a similar result. Bearing in mind that my book was first published in 1993, I have recently been informed by several UK lace suppliers that Brok cotton is no longer being manufactured, so Egyptian cotton No 120 is the recommended thread for this particular sample. Hollie point was usually only found in baby clothing i.e bonnets or 'vests' which presumably is why it was worked in such fine thread, as a thicker gauge of thread would have produced a larger sample, too big to incorporate into the crown or back of a baby bonnet or shoulders of a 'vest'. Dates were also frequently incorporated into these works and you will notice that my pattern No 3 also includes the date 1991! I worked this piece of Hollie Point 25 years ago and even then I needed magnification to work it. For this very reason, I agree with Devon that whilst most forms of needlelace are portable, Hollie Point is not one that I would like to carry in my handbag as one needs absolute concentration to work this very fine exacting type of lace, enabling the worker to continually count the number of stitches required to make the pattern work correctly and probably magnification of some kind. I would compare it more towards the working of Filet crochet lace where the pattern is formed by voiding (holes), rather than cross stitch, where the pattern is formed by changes in colour of threads. Cotton is also the most practical thread to use, rather than silk, because we all know that baby clothes need frequent washing (sometimes boiling), as they are naturally messy little souls and of course Gutermann 100/3 silk thread or any other silk thread, would not be a wise choice for Hollie Point. The Freesia No 15 needles of course are no longer available either but I use a Sharps No 10 or No 12 for the fine net background in my Point de Gaze, which incidentally is worked using the same twisted buttonhole stitch as the Hollie Point and I use both Brok and Egyptian cotton for this purpose. Hollie Point is not quite as simple as it might first appear, which is why pattern No 1 is just a diamond within a diamond, within a diamond and worked in a No 20 crochet cotton, making it easy for the worker to see what she is doing by using a thicker thread and also to hopefully understand the necessity to count the stitches required to produce the holes/voids in the correct position. I know that most workers new to Hollie Point think that its easy because one just makes a hole to either the left or right of the hole in the previous row, but if one doesn't count the number of stitches between these holes/voids, it is easy to have made a mistake by not working sufficient STITCHES, resulting in too few LOOPS in the following row! Not all patterns are diamonds, some are flowers in pots etc and one doesn't simply work a hole to either the left or right of the one above, but needs to know how to work these more complicated patterns and one can't do that if one doesn't understand that it is necessary to make TWO STICHES into a void to form a LOOP for the following row. Having worked this sample all those years ago, I have never had the desire to work another!

[lace] Apologies to the list for the golbal post- Attention especially Adelaide lacemakers
First, apologies to the list for the general posting. Dear All The good news is that my antidepressant load has dropped by 50%. Bad news is divorce remains unfinalized and even worse, after Bobbie Donnelly took the time wto meet me in NYC, it took about 8 weeks to get Jeff to retie the broken threads and... I'm still in panic mode and unable to face putting in a pin... I will be in Adelaide this coming Tuesday through Thursday. The Adelaide group was kind enough to suggest a meeting; I've been hesitant based on my own inadequacieis... but apologize to the list in general, and request any Adelaide lacemakers who would be willing to let me watch THEM do lace for 30-60 min... sometime between Tues and Thurs of this coming week... We will be driving from Melbourne Sunday so will have transport. The very many kindnesses of this list in the past appreciated daily, and with many thanks in advance Carrie Salafia cell phone 914-356-5606 which will be working in OZ. Flying Friday afternoon from NYC straight to Sydney, connecting to Melbourne and driving to Adelaide (with colleagues/friends from Perth so we at least don't have horrible jetlag to complicate our tour on your road system!) -- Carrie carolyn.sala...@gmail.com - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Re: [lace] Apologies
Janice, something similar to those little marks have shown up from time to time on some of my posts and someone on another of my lists suggested it was a yahoo thing. I'm not computer literate enough to know, but thought I'd pass on the info for whatever its worth. Some of the lace info doesn't really make sense to me yet so when something comes through I don't understand, such as your post, I just delete and don't worry about it lol. It did give me something to look out for at Lace days, so thank you for that. Norma http://normasneedlez.blogspot.com http://sistersstitching.blogspot.com NATA #847 Enjoy a better web experience.

I am sorry I sent this to the wrong LACE address. It should have gone to my lace guild (LACE), not the Arachne Lace. At least it had a lace content :-) I gave a talk this afternoon on how to use Lace R-XP and how I come up with some of my own designs and then followed with a demonstration on how to draw a simple pattern. I was surprised to see it turn up in the lace digest. When I received this email I also saw the odd boxed marks at the end of the sentences. Does anyone know what causes it. In case you cannot see if, it is a little box with FF on top and FD under it. I have seen it on other posts besides mine.

[lace] Apologies
Hello All, I seem to be starting a lot of messages with apologies at the moment! I am sorry to have burdened you all with my worries and anxieties - I thought I had just sent my message of apology to Betty Ann, but obviously pressed 'Reply All' instead of just Reply! I do thank all of you who have sent prayers and thoughts though - it is greatly appreciated, as it has all been such a shock. My husband has very rarely ever been ill, and this has knocked the stuffing out of all of us - but we are all trying to be positive, and realise that the chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy will work, so thank you all, and do please keep praying hard, for John, me and the extended family! With love to you all, and many thanks, as well as the apologies!
