Re: [lace] Is the list quiet
Yes, the list is quiet. Your message is the third today, there were none yesterday, and only 5 the day before. Everyone must be making a lot of lace! Avital Dear All, I have found the list very quiet for days now - only 1 or 2 messages per day. Has it been quiet or am I having computer problems?

Through the years, it has seemed to me that about 20 people keep the list active. Yet, when I go to lace events, I meet many many people who say they are on Arachne. How about some reports from around the world about your favorite lace class experience, your favorite lace book, your favorite lace-in-a-museum memory? It would be so nice to hear from the many who are behind the computer screen. Every group profits from new input. Please let us hear from you.

. Everyone must be making a lot of lace! Avital, I think they are making goodies for Christmas. I remember last year about the same time the list was quiet as well.

Re: [lace] Is the list quiet
I'm on some other 'fibre' lists too, and they've all been abnormally quiet lately. (Of course, just after I unsubscribed from others because I was going to be too busy to read them once term started again). However, all my husband's astronomy lists are just as busy as ever.

Re: [lace] Is the list quiet
. Everyone must be making a lot of lace! I was making lace this weekend, I was woking a sample of Bucks using Finca no.80. It gave a beautiful result, but was much too firm and scratchy for the purpose intended (a proposed edging for a christening gown). I've reverted to Egyptian Cotton 70/2 which is much softer. I'll use the Finca for a fan (one of these days!). BTW, has anyone got a nice pattern for said christening gown that I might borrow? I've looked in Vogue, Butterick, Simplicity, etc. etc. but not been 100% pleased with the patterns there.

[lace] Is the list quiet
Dear All, Thank you for all the replies - both personal and to Arachne. I can cope with a quiet list but the thought of no list is almost too much to contemplate. In reply to Jeri's question as to why more Arachne members do not contribute, speaking for myself I can tell you it is because I don't think I have much to contribute. After years of lacemaking I still don't consider I have as much knowledge as most of the members who contribute regularly.

Re: [lace] Is the list quiet
Well, Linda - I just had to respond to your note!! Yes, I've noticed that the list is fairly quiet lately myself, and I confess that I have not contributed anything for quite a while (except to ask the same question about the quiet list a month or so ago!) But what made me laugh at your response was the line: However, all my husband's astronomy lists are just as busy as ever. I know that there are lots of women interested in astronomy, but I'd be willing to bet that those lists are kept humming by the men who are on them! Those of us who make lace often come home from work after a long day, fix dinner for our family, feed the livestock (cats, dogs, assorted rodents maybe...) and tidy up the mess left in the mad dash out the door this morning. Meanwhile, DH is settling down at the computer to chat with his astronomy list... He won't be able to go to his telescope until full dark, and then only if it isn't completely overcast!! And right now, in the US, many families are gearing up for the Thanksgiving feast by preparing favorites ahead and freezing it. (Not I... but I've heard rumors ; ) For the past four years, I have stayed home and spent many hours a day making lace and keeping up with the list. Now, however, I have returned to my professional life as a child therapist, and when I get home after a long day ( and they're ALL long!) I barely have the energy to read my email, let alone write to the list. I can hardly wait for the Thanksgiving holiday, because I plan to spend at least HALF of the time making lace!! But you may not hear from me! I'd rather make lace than talk about it!! Point being... how many members of our list have been affected by the downturn in the US economy? I know of several, and there may be many more.
