Re: [lace] Need help to get on to Flickr please

The link to Flickr is always at the end of all Arachne emails, and that 
should be adequate for viewing.  You need the login and password for posting 
your own photos to the Arachne Flickr account.


I have been told in the past not to post the login id and password to the 
list for security reasons.

I've just sent instructions with screenshots to Vivienne and Brian so that 
they can get on to Flickr.  Hopefully this will work for them.  The crucial 
thing to do first is to LOGOUT of your own Yahoo a/c before trying to log in 
to Arachne's one with our user id and password.

RE: [lace] need help with one-liner

I think Tamara Duvall originally posted this poem

When God made man, He made him out of string
He had a little left, so He left a thing
When God made woman, He made her out of lace
He did not have enough, so He left a space.

I've gots lots of longer poems, Sharon, but this might be short enough for
you

Peacocks and Rainbows

Some people knit wool into blankets.
Some crochet with treble and chain.
Some people cut lovely new fabric
Just to sew it together again.

But me, I like to use bobbins
And weave patterns in thread without fear.
And if someone should say it's so useless
So are peacocks and rainbows, my dear.

Re: [lace] Need help with Brigitte Bellon pattern

[Vila Cox]

So excited!  I picked up the lace pillow again tonight.  A few days ago 
I had figured out how to leave the loop and work the rose ground, so 
tonight I finished enough of that to tackle the big stumbling block of 
sewings as I worked the next section.  It all came together this time.  
I did shread the first thread using a crochet hook that is too small. 
But that can be fixed.  I put a picture on my Flickr account.  I'm 
looking forward to finishing and wearing this scarf.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/warpedandwonderful/8932485722/

Thank you all for your suggestions and encouragement!  It is really 
going to work up pretty quickly once I get more practice on this pattern.

Re: [lace] Need help with Brigitte Bellon pattern

[Vila Cox]

Thank you all for your comments and suggestions and encouragement!  I am 
turning the pillow as I work, the picture was taken from a different 
direction than I had been working on the lace.


I'll talk myself into a more positive mood about it and try again soon.  
Even starting the section of rose ground was beyond me a few nights ago 
and I had figured that section out the first time. I'm going to print 
out all your emails and highlight the suggestions so I can read them 
while I'm working on the lace next time.


I'll keep you posted.  It might be a few days.  My weaving turned into a 
full time job and I spend a lot of time in the evenings finishing up 
items and preparing them for shipping the next day. Evenings used to be 
my lace time.

Hello Vila,

The pattern is beautiful, and I have made a scarf from the same book, which
is made very similarly. I think there is nothing wrong in your piece of
lace. (And there wasn't either in the one you cut off, as I can see).

Number 2 is ok: you must leave the 2 edge pairs plus the guide waiting
until you reach that border later again. Now you have to continue working
the complete triangle in roseground, which may not offer difficulty because
there is a diagram for the unfinished border in the pattern sheet to
indicate you how to make it. Once you have finished the triangle, make the
 narrow cloth stitch trail that follows, then a row of whole stitches and
again a row with a trail. You will have to make a joining at the first top
stitch of this trail.

I think that you have to keep working, because it does not look as if there
are pairs missing. Ask again if you arrive to a problem later, but you
should not have it. The patterns of this book are very accurate and in

Re: [lace] Need help with Brigitte Bellon pattern

[Vila Cox]

I did not mean to ask a questions and disappear, but life got in the way 
of me working on the project and posting here.


I put a couple of pictures on my Flickr page.  The first one shows my 
original attempt.  The arrow points to the place I got stuck before I 
cut it off.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/warpedandwonderful/8730897654/in/photostream/

The second picture shows my current effort.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/warpedandwonderful/8729786431/in/photostream/
Tonight I tried again and still do not feel comfortable with this 
pattern.  I seems like I'm short a pair at both arrow 2 and 3. While I 
think this is a beautiful pattern, I starting to feel like it is not 
worth the struggle.  Making lace should be enjoyable and I am not having 
fun with this one.


I set it aside and worked on a simple bookmark while I thought about 
other projects I would like to start.

I'm making a second attempt at the third pattern in Brigittle Bellon's

the pattern started and figured it out  until I turned to go back and
attach the lace as I went on that part of pattern. There I got stuck.
Since I had some other deadlines coming up I cut it off the pillow and
set every thing aside for a while.  Now I want to go back and master
what stopped me before.

First question, Is there a translation of the book anywhere?  I've used
Google translate for bits and pieces, but that can be more amusing that
accurate most of the time.
Second question, Is there a working diagram for the patterns?  That
would help a lot.

Or does someone have some suggestions or hints.  For me it's hard to
figure out where the pairs go in the beginning by just looking at a
color picture of the completed lace.

For now it's back to more trial and error at getting started again.

[lace] need help with Swedish

[Tess Parrish]

Is there anyone out there who would be willing to translate a paragraph or two 
from Swedish to English? The are the directions for a small square, and I'm 
sure it is all very simple, but I can't figure out the hanging-in directions 
from the picture or the diagram, which is how I usually sort out beginnings.  I 
tried my Swedish to English dictionary and a couple of online translation 
sites, but of course they were useless with lace directions.  Thanks so much.

[lace] need help with an old pattern

[tess parrish]

A long time ago I made a little oval mat, and I would like to make it  
again. However, this was so long ago that I have forgotten some of the  
suggestions and directions, having neglected to write them down on the  
back of the old pricking I intend to use.  The pattern was printed in  
Die Spitze, Vol. 1 2003.  Does anyone still have that copy?  I don't  
need the pricking itself, but if there are directions or special  
instructions it would be very helpful to have them to refer to.  My  
German is not good at all, so if someone who has the magazine and can  
help with translation, that would be helpful as well.


I know I am asking a lot, but Arachne never fails, so I am sure that  
someone out there can help.  Thank you very much in advance.

[lace] need help

[Tess Parrish]

I am scanning Bolton and Coe's marvelous American Samplers  and have  
come across a damaged page which I would like to be able to include.   
I am working from the original hardback book, published in 1921 by  
the Massachusetts Society of the Colonial Dames of America.  This is  
NOT the Dover paperback--which is what most of us have in our libraries.

If there is anyone out there in cyberspace who might have the  
original hardback version and who would be willing to send me a scan  
of the long sampler, Plate X after page 20, I would be very grateful.  
The page is folded over to fit in the book.  I have a copy here, but  
the Plate has been damaged in the folding and I can't get a good scan  
of it.  (In the Dover edition it  has been reduced in size and not  
useful for my purposes.)

Please email me privately if you can help.  Many thanks.

[lace] need help from tatters

[Tess Parrish]

I have been scanning a lot of tatting books lately, mostly thanks to a 
very generous Jeri and her fantastic library.  However, a problem has 
occurred.  In the course of my scanning, I neglected to scan one page, 
and Jeri can't seem to locate the book at the moment (another 
problem!).

Does anyone have a copy of the Priscilla Tatting Book Number 3, 
published by Needlecraft Publishing Company, Augusta, Maine, 1924.  It 
is a slender paperback, only 34 pages including covers, and has an 
orange cover.

What I am missing is page 27. There is text, of course, and two small 
insertions and a doily are pictured.  I need the whole page scanned if 
possible (at 300dpi, text (BW) not gray or color. If a scan is 
impossible, I might be able to manage a very clear photocopy, but it 
has to be extremely clear to come up to the Professor's standards.

This is a plea for help.  Perhaps the tatters could contact others who 
might not read Arachne. Please respond privately. I would really 
appreciate it.

[lace] Need help with identifying a bobbin winder

[mshue]

Hi,
  I recently have acquired what I believe to be an antique bobbin 
winder.  I'm sure it is missing a piece (like a mini-skein holder or 
something?  Would anyone be willing to let me send them pictures to see 
if you could help me with it?
It is allegedly from the late 1700s but maybe more like 1800s.  I am 
current with my virus protection on my computer so they will be safe 
files.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Re: [lace] Need help with identifying a bobbin winder

[Barbara Joyce]

Hi Mary,

There's an Arachne webshots site where you could post the picture. I'm sure
someone can tell you how to do that, and they will!

If, however, that isn't an option for you for some reason, I will volunteer
to post the photo on my web site. You could send me a digital photo via
email. Or, if you don't have it in digital form, you could snail mail the
photo to me, and I can scan it and put up.

If you would like to pursue this option, send me private email and we'll
hash out the details. My email address is bejoyce at mac dot com.

I know I won't be able to help you identify the winder, but it will be fun
to see it!

[lace] Need Help with Translation!

[Sue Fink]

Sorry all, but here is another request for help with translation!  My French
has faded somewhat with the years spent here in New Zealand and although I
can make myself understood when I speak I do have difficulty with reading!

My friend and I are interested in have a page from La Dentelle Torchon de
Cholet translated.  It is page 16 in Book 1 and page 15 in Book 2.  (I hope
I have got those the right way around).  Particularly the paragraphs on Le
Point de Paris and Incrustation.  If someone with the book can translate for
me that would be lovely, but I can send a copy if someone who doesn't have
the book is able to help.

Please reply to me off list.

Many thanks

Dear Friends,

I have a problem and am hoping that someone can help.  My son wants a

anyone wants to see the drawing, please write me and I will send the

to you.  I have designed it with mainly roseground in it, (love that
roseground).


Hello Lynn

There are two main ways of working a (torchon) BL cross:
1, work as an edging half the width of each arm of the cross. working 
all around the cross turning left and right corners as necessary until 
you get back to where you started, and making sewings or other 
connections down the middle of each arm.


2, start at top AND bottom of the cross, then use half the pairs from 
the top with half the pairs from the bottom to work the left arm, and 
then the remaining bobbins to work the right arm.


Some patterns will only work one way, others only the other way and 
some will work both ways.  If you want to send me a scan of the design 
(.gif or .jpg) I'll tell you how I'd work it.

[lace] need help with Russian book titles

[Tess1929]

Can anyone help with these?   They are both in the books section of   
   
http://www.cs.arizona.edu/patterns/weaving/lace.html

The first is Otviety ne obyknovennye voprosy diete for which we need a 
translation into English.

The second is under Ericson, N. J. --CYRILLIC SCRIPT HERE-- [A Collection of 
Samples of Bobbin Lace], 1913, etc.   I have tried to change the Cyrillic into 
a font we can read here in the West, but without success.

I hope that someone out there is good in Russian.

[lace] Need Help in Finding a Specific Thread

[Karen Bovard]

Help

I designed a Romanian Point Lace Project and now I can't find any more
thread--the color that I used has been discontinued.

Thanks to the help of my local tatting club members, I've found one of the
threads in enough quantity but need some help in finding a different size.

What I need is:

DMC Cebelia Crochet Cotton
Color 3688 (I call it a dusty rose color)
Size 10.  

I'm using it to crochet one of the cords and coordinating it with burgundy
and ecru cords and needlelace fillings.  I'm too deep into the project to
start over with new colors.

Let me know if you have this thread and would be willing to part with it.
I'll pay you for the ball and postage.

A year ago, in a moment of weakness, I said yes to a similar request 
from the Costume Society of Nova Scotia for a 'Taster Workshop on Bobbin 
Lace', to be given in 2 1/2 hours.  Like Sharon, my rationale was to get 
more people interested in lacemaking. I redesigned the proverbial snake 
to make it shorter, wound all the bobbins, and started each snake so 
that I didn't have to explain how to do the eye. I also felt that the 
participants should wind at least one bobbin.  So, once past the eye, I 
unwound 2 bobbins.  When I started setting up, my heart sank because 
that's when I found out that 2 other workshops were taking place in the 
same room.  However, everything went well.  About half the people 
finished their snakes, some of the rest were almost finished, and 2 will 
never be able to make lace.  I shouldn't say 'never' but after 2 hours, 
they still hadn't caught on to cloth stitch.  The result was quite 
satisfying - 1 of the 10 signed up for a beginner's Torchon course and 
is now making miniature lace for her doll collection.

I think I've just got myself into a bit of a mess.  I was asked to give a
short class on lacemaking for a fibre arts symposium in May.  At the time
all I thought about was the prospect of gaining more lacemakers.  Now the
reality has struck, and I'm wondering how the heck I'm going to teach enough
to snare some permanent interest with just 12 hrs tuition?  So far all I've
thought of is pre-winding all but one pair of bobbins (I feel they must know
how to wind a bobbin properly) and perhaps starting with the Springetts
Snake?  Any idea  what's the average length of time that should take for a
beginner?  I was hoping that I'd get that done in the first four hour
session, but now I'm wondering.  Then what do I give? What would be the
ideal length of time for something like this anyway?  Perhaps I'm trying for
the impossible, but I hate to pass up a chance to spread the craft.  Your
thoughts would be welcome.  Sharon

Sharon:

I see a difference between what you'd teach in a 12-hour workshop and 
what you'd teach in a continuing class. For a continuing class, you 
want to slowly improve skills, so it is logical to move slowly through 
the basics, gradually increasing complexity over time. That's because 
they get to practice each week between the classes.

With a workshop, they don't have the practice time and the gradual 
approach isn't so useful. I would plan for at least two pieces. The 
first is your simple bandage, showing cloth stitch, half stitch, and a 
ground. This will take up the first section of the class. The second 
piece would be an edging that uses the same basic stitches in different 
combinations.

I suggest an edging partly because it is open-ended - you don't have to 
get to a certain point to be finished. People who are going fast can 
make a longer edging, the slower ones can be happy with their shorter 
piece. You can devise a simple Torchon edging where one area (like a 
fan edge, or an area inside the design) is done differently in 
successive repeats. Don't use a large number of pairs - just enough to 
make a reasonably nice edging. Of course, make it fairly big and use 
thicker thread, so they can follow the pairs easily.

You might also come prepared with a third pattern, slightly different, 
for any keeners or people who came with some knowledge of bobbin lace, 
so they can move on if they've got the first one.

You will need complete directions, of course, for the basic movements 
and for the edging. Then in the class you can just take people through 
the directions.

Also, people get enthused when they see the thing used, so you could 
make the edging and attach it to something, or coil it up to make a 
pretty flower. Have several samples available for them to look at.

The most common mistake I've seen in beginner workshops is where the 
teacher plans something that takes 12 hours to make - for the teacher. 
The students barely get started, and the workshop is over. When you 
calculate how much actually lacemaking time you will have in the class, 
remember to deduct coffee breaks, setup time, and the time that you 
spend explaining things to the class. It is hard to remember how long 
it took you to do things when you were learning - my rule of thumb is 
that if I think it will take a beginner 3 hours to do, it will actually 
take them 6.

Good luck.

[lace] Need help - Crazy Daisy winder

[Jean Nathan]

Betty Ann - I recently bought a couple of these daisy winders (just because
I like these old things) from:

Miki's California Yarn Sales
9542 Hamilton at Bushard.
Huntington Beach, CA 92646
Tel:714-965-0018
Fax:714-964-4059
email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

shown on their web site page:
http://www.mikiscaliforniayarn.com/hardtofinditems.html

Easy credit card transaction from the US to the UK, once a couple of
Arachneans had managed to contact them by phone for me when their computer
was down.

They do 2 inch and 3 inch green plastic, and a brass coloured metal 2 inch,
both with retractable metal pins. Both come with instructions, the green one
having more complicated instructions for the picot joining of daisies.

One set of instructions says that you can make: shawls, afghans, baby sets,
sweaters, vests, skirt, hand and shoulder bags, rugs, jewelry, big needle
fashions - Leaflets available at your favorite art needlework department.

If you'd like a copy of the instructions - the essentials cover an A4
sheet, the one with the more complicated pict joining instructions one and a
half A4 sheets - let me know, and I'll scan them and send you a copy - be a
bit of a large attachment.

[lace] Need Help

[Clive and Betty Ann Rice]

Gentle Spiders,

I'm going through some of my late MIL's sewing things, and came upon
this little box , 2x2  square and 3/4  deep. On the box is
Crazy-Daisy Winder for Finer Hand Weaving. It is manufactured by Ralph
C. Springer Co. 11411 Joanne Place, Culver City, California. Inside the
box is a brass object. Two circles sheets of metal with a knob on top
and when the knob is turned, 12 pins pop out from between the sheets of
brass (tin?)

It looks vaguely familiar; I think my Mother may have had one when I was
young, but I don't know how to use it.  Dear MIL had a habit of throwing
away directions to everything, so there is nothing to tell me what
marvelous things I could make with this pretty little Crazy-Daisy
Winder.

Anyone know?  Thanks for any information.

Happy Lacemaking,

Re: [lace] Need Help

[Ruth Budge]

Betty Ann - Your MIL might not have thrown the directions away, 'cos my Daisy
Wheel never had any to start with!

I found some instructions in a local magazine (back in approximately 1965, so I
haven't a hope of locating them now!)

Basically, a continuous thread is wound around the opened-out pins, making
loops around each one, from one side of the circle to the pin on the opposite
side of the circle, then back to the first side, but moving on to the next pin
each time you cross the circle.   Once all the pins have been used, the loops
are anchored by weaving under and over (a bit like darning) around the circle
in different patterns.

When the weaving is finished, the daisy is released by turning the pins back
inside the two pieces of tin.   I made a baby's jacket using this device, but
it was a real pain, because it was far too lacy, and the baby kept catching her
fingers, indeed whole hands, in the loops... even trying to put it on her was a
real struggle.  I never bothered doing anything else with it.
