Joy, one should never quote themselves.
The "skew", using your words is a factual question and would go to a jury.
Whether Buck's pricking of the Channer Mat is even copyrightable by Bean or
Buck is a thorny legal question, since Channer had published the mat
previously and it was already in the
The price for the adult school lace class being discussed is typical of
California classes. Clearly it is well under-priced for the value. I have
been in this class for a few years. The teacher is incredible and we have
25-30 students every week. Many of the "students" are very experienced

I always understood 'stroppy' to be short for obstreperous, which means
turbulent or unruly, but my dictionary says it's origin is unknown, and that
it means bad tempered or awkward to deal with (which means the same thing as
obstreperous).

I found out at our local county fair that one of the school districts in the
adult education department was teaching bobbin lace classes. Fee is right
(depending on age $10.00 or $20.00 for the younger under 50 crowd- sometimes
it pays to be older). I just signed up so it will be interesting.

I haven't got that far in Niven yet, but I looked at the book. What I would
do is just omit one of the dots on the pricking, and just treat it as a
printing press stutter. That seems the simplest solution. Treating it as a
two point exchange would require a ring pair, which there isn't.

Hello lacemakers,
I have a few questions about thread.
I found a pattern that I want to do, it is a pattern by Karen Trend Nissen.
On the pattern it has a note: 24 par tr. nr. 80/3 B. I think it means 24
pairs, thread # 80/3 Bomuld (cotton). Is this correct? Could anyone please

You are right, Tamara, I don't think the name has a ring I would want to be
associated with. Besides there can't be that many legal questions to lace.
Your reasoning is sound about the tax quagmire. It is not worth it. Unless
you can show a profit every five years it is considered a hobby anywa
