I have to confess it's one of my own that I designed in despair! I'd started
one of the Biggins ones but, although it was going to look brilliant, it was
taking too long. So I changed to simpler, narrower and thicker threads!

I think it was Tamara who asked this question in the middle of an e-mail. And
I thought, Once again I am knitting socks, which has nothing to do with the
lace list. But then I realized I am knitting *lacy* socks. I am using the
Drooping Elm Leaf pattern from Mary Thomas's Book of Knitting
I have been given the task of finding a bobbin maker for one of my lace groups
lace day this year and I was asked to find out if there is a bobbin maker in
the US that uses woodburning for writing the information on the bobbins. Also
the bobbins required are square ones. Please let me know if

Good to hear from the lace knitters - I'm a lace knitter mostly wannabe!
Not a lot, just finished a piece of Torchon, went very well, only I can
see the mistake (deliberate or otherwise).
Still finishing off a piece of Bedfordshire that I started last June on
a course with Christine Springett, and having fun with the magic threads.

Hi, everyone
I've just started a new piece, a fine Torchon edging (Margaret Allen's torchon
edging no 7) in ecru Finca 80 cotton (thanks for the thread, Jenny!) - it's a
complete change from the thick linen thread and beds/cluny of Les Lauriers;
the thin thread felt very strange to work with
Greeting Spiders!
Two very dear friends have announced that they are getting married in
September. I would like to make a garter for the bride with a dragon
motif.

Gentle Spiders,
This is the last posting on the subject, promise :)
The nicest thing about this list is that, if I'm sufficiently helpless,
someone always comes to the rescue. And so it is this time also. Since

Does anyone have a dragon pattern?
There's a whole book of dragons, edited by Ulrike
The first thing I thought of when dragons were requested was the portfolio by
Ulrike Lohr, but none of the designs would lend themselves to a garter. Those

Patterns for dragons always causes me some amusement. A friend makes free-
style lace in all colours. A man asked her if she would mind making a piece
of lace and mount it on a cushion that he could give his wife for her
birthday. She had just finished a beautiful dragon in gold and silver
