Re: [lace] Knitted pincushions

I found a website that makes little cupcakes from old sweaters. The instructions are here: http://www.instructables.com/id/EPZAPJVLVJEWZMIJWJ/ I also found a pincushion that is knitted in garter stitch. It doesn't look exactly like a pincushion, but you might be able to fudge the pattern and co

[lace] Re Knitted pincushions

Thank you Lenore. I like the idea of making a pincushion out of an old sweater but I'm still wearing my old sweaters. I could try raiding my hubby's cupboard but everything is grey, brown or beige not exactly cupcake lookalikes. Perhaps the local charity shop? Ann Yorkshire UK - To unsubscribe se

Re: [lace] anna burda

Hello Alessandra,Anna is discontinued - all we have now in Germany is the Magazine "Lena" that is somewhat similar (but not my cup of tea - if there's anything about bobbin lace in there, then it's prolly very crude and simple Torchon patterns). Best from Berlin, Achim. 2007/8/30, Alessandra <[EM

Re: [lace] anna burda

Hello All, I don't think Anna is discontinued, I know it has been published the September issue, in German. Here at Taranto, Italy, as I've written to Alessandra, I can't find it since long time but I've read in a message sent to another list that Anna has changed editor, now is edited by a "join"

Hello Tiziana, Anna came out in Germany till the beginning of the year. Some people with get a short note and money back from Burda. Others not. But in my class in Blackforest some body had the new Anna, august or july I didn't see it, with her. Best Google Burda and have a look. Greetings

[lace] Visit to Bayeux

Hello all Arachneans, I have just returned from my holidays, and I would like to tell you some lacey information of my trip to France, as I had the opportunity to visit Bayeux, to see its museum and to chat with an important lacer: Mylene Salvador. For those not very familiar with French lace: Ba

Hello , I've found the information a lady in German gave to the laceknitters list about Anna : now is published by VCP Vikant Crafts Publishing GmbH, a join venture Burda-Vikant, a company based in Illinois (USA). Now in the newstsands, at least in Germany, there is the September issue, I've seen

[lace] Re Knitted food

I would love to take up my needles and make all those fun foods but I have new lace projects to start. Perhaps when I am 101 years old I will do the knitting then. I did find one site that sold cupcake pincushions and they are lovely but a bit more than I want to pay just now. Thank you to everyon

Re: [lace] anna burda

Hello all I went on the Burda website this afternoon and found the magazine Anna Burda, which is available on subscription, but only in Germany and possibly Switzerland. Maybe we should bombard Burda with emails and complain about its demise outside of Germany. Agnes Boddington - Elloughton UK

Re: [lace] anna burda

Dear Lacemaking Friends: I also subscribed to Anna for many years but they told me it was no longer published in ANY language! So they substituted Lena for me. It's nice and okay but it is more for doing other things than lace in my opinion. However, the latest issue does have a little bi

Hi everyone I have two lace books to sell, to North American addresses. The postage will be too high otherwise. Kloeppeln in Tirol by Grete Golderer with 36 patterns on pricking card bound in, text German. and Tierisch Flandrisch by Inge Theuerkauf, interesting recent Flanders patterns and an exer

Re: [lace] two lace books to sell

Just a recommendation for anyone interested in Flanders lace. When I decided last January, that I needed to own a copy of Tierisch Flandrisch, I found that all of the US dealers with whom I've done business had no copies left. I ended up ordering it from Barbara Fay in Germany, and paid a pretty h

Re: [lace] anna burda

Dear Lacemakers, Does noone remember we discussed Anna and Burda at great length - in late 2006 or early 2007? In the U.S. there were 2 magazines: "Anna" and "Burda". It was explained that because of the death of the founder, one of the magazines discontinued. Quite an interesting biography

Hi again everyone The Flanders book has been spoken for. 'Laces of the Tyrol' is still available. Although the text is in German, it is mostly patterns, traditional laces of the Tyrol/Tirol. They are all edgings or insertions, some appear to be like freehand lace. They are rather pretty, and hav

I must disagree with you i'm afraid about Mylene Salvador . i am French and when i went to Bayeux, the lacers there were all very unpleasant and Mylene as well ; actually, we had the feeling we didn't exist ! they went on making their lace and talking without even giving us a glance. We managed
