Re: [lace] help with Knipling 3.0

Hello Kim and everyone Your best bet is to go to http://www.knipling.de/ and write to the programmer directly. Her e-mail addy is at the righthand corner of the index page. I didn't see a Vista patch there, but I'm sure she will have something? On Fri, Sep 19, 2008 at 4:49 PM, Kim Davis <[EMAIL P

[lace] help with Knipling 3.0

I am hoping someone out there can help meJ I purchased Knipling 3.0 about 18 months ago, but my computer died a few months back. I could only get Vista, which does not seem to be working with Knipling. I have searched the net but can't find any updates for it, etc. Does anyone know if it has any

[lace] Radical Lace and Subversive Knitting

Re: [lace] threads for Cantù question

Thank you Sr. Claire - when I googled, I found a couple of places in England that had the specified thread, but neither shipped to North America. Hadn't got much further in online searching.

Re: [lace] threads for Cantù question

Thanks for the reply Brenda. The garden variety cotton thread is too fine for the pattern. Photo-reducing it isn't an option. Coats Cometa 40 is 26 wraps in T4L. #30 not given - I ought to send you a sample ;) (I have an idea that it has been discontinued though) Looking at the wraps for Filato p

Re: [lace] threads for Cantù question

Hi Bev. I have two sources for Cantù threads. Holy Van Sciver < http://www.vansciverbobbinlace.com/> doesn't have a lot left, but last I heard she still had some filatu di Cantù size 30 and 40 left in écru. I bought a couple of spools. I also order from a lady named Gianfranca in Italy. Her site i
