Re: [lace] lace pattern

Hi Rose-Marie, The nice thing about Eeva-Liisa's patterns is that they work. You might have to do a bit of puzzling at times but generally speaking all the information you need is right there on the pricking. One exception to that is on the Good Shepherd picture where there is a special diagram

[lace] another new person

Well, I'm not sure where central Kentucky is (remember that long-ago New Yorker cartoon about a map of the U.S. being about 85% New York and then all the rest of the country occupying the remaining 15%?). I'm no longer a New Yorker, but the mindset remains the same. However, we do have a

[lace] Kortelahti Patterns

Hi Rose Marie Just this week, I started the Lacemaker from E. K's book. I reduced the size of the pricking as I didn't want such a large picture. It is going very well but I agree, there are places where one really must puzzle things out. I'm almost half way down and still have the right

[lace] tapestry bobbins

I bought some tapestry bobbins from Robin Russ Handweavers many years ago, and they work just fine for tape lace (with those pointy ends, sewings are easy). Lorelei - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL

Re: [lace-chat] Red shoes

Dear Pam, I have in my closet right now a pair of red cfm pumps with stiletto heels. I haven't heard that saying of Joan Crawford's since the early 70s in London. God, you brought back heaps of memories and laughs in one fowl swoop. My CFM pumps were navy blue and worked a treat every time :) :)

[lace-chat] red shoes, slippers

I can't remember having red shoes, but I do remember persuading my mother that I could not live without a pair of red leather bed-room slippers with a moccasin front, high heels and a surround of fake black fur. I thought they were wonderful and wore them until they wore out. Angel Thompson in

[lace-chat] Re: red shoes

No, I never had red shoes. I have the family Frisian feet, wide across the toe (4) and narrow at the heel (2). When I find shoes that just plain fit, it's a cause for celebration, doubly so if they're not tan boats. And if they fit at the toe AND the heel, heck, I'd throw a party just for the

[lace-chat] first paychecks

I well remember what I bought with one of my first paychecks: I was slaving in a baby clothing factory, and I sent away for a stunning $56 worth of lily bulbs that I had been circling in the catalog for at least 3 years. Tiger Babies, White Henry, Pink Perfection, Harlequin hybrids. I sweated

[lace-chat] Who makes the coffee? :-)))

A husband and wife were having an argument about who should brew the coffee each morning. The wife said, You should do it, because you get up first, and then we don't have to wait as long to get our coffee. The husband said, You are in charge of the cooking around here and you should do it,
