Re: [lace] Freehand Lace & Power Point

Hello Susan,

There is a German book called "Freihandspitzen von der Schwäbischen Alb",
edited by the German Kloeppelverband, which starts with very narrow edgings
with 5 -7 pairs. In fact it is a very simple edging, which you can also
find in patterns of Le Pompe and this type of laces. If you want, I can
send you a drawing of this 6 pair piece of lace.

Best wishes,

Antje González, from Spain.

[lace] Freehand Lace & Power Point

2013-12-02 Thread hottleco
Hello All!  Best laid plans are gone awry again.  My new (to me) pillow & 
bobbins seemed like good candidates for a library demo.  It's cute as a bugs 
ear & I've posted a pic to Flickr.  So with spangles in order, gingham on the 
roller & stretchy gold ribbon ready to manage the bobbins for traveling, you 
might think that I'd be set to make lace.  Au contraire!  My plan for making 
Skansk hit a major snag when I realized all of my patterns require more than 
six pair.  A quick Google brought up Jean Leader's articles, Lorelei's test 
strips & Jo Edkin's ribbons.  With such a tiny pillow, I'm reluctant to add my 
beaded Mechlin bobbins to the mix, but six pair lace options are less 
appealing.  The pillow needs something cute & petite!  Have I missed any 
attractive six pair resources that may be worked freehand?  If I add pairs, the 
Skansk pattern "beans" requires 11 pair.  How do I understand the pros & cons?  
Suggestions?  Regarding my recent Power Point quandary, many thanks to !
 all who wrote with help & suggestions.  Apparently my computer & I are older 
than I thought--my trial version of PP (MS Office 2007) expired in 2009!  
Hoping for a reply from IOLI shortly.  Sincerely, Susan Hottle, on vacation 
with lots of pillows, bobbins & threads but too few books!
