I do not see a problem here. Saints associated with lacemaking are part of
lace history, so I don't see how this brings anyone's religion into it.
Patron saints are associated with just about everything we do, whether you
are aware of them or not and whether

there probably isn't a problem - especially as the recipe for Cattern

Hmmm if we have to tip-toe around on eggshells for the next two

I have to agree with Sister Claire on this. The subject was the history of
lace and not the Church.

I live just a few miles from the village of Worstead the place where
the fabric originated, every year they have a festival and we always
attend to see the weavers that set up their weaving frames in the church
along with lacemakers and other crafts. The festival was started up
some thirty years
In an attempt to bring the lace list back to lace, I have a question to ask of
our more experienced lacemakers.
I took a beginning Binche class with Anny Noben Sleiger at convention this
summer. I am now coming round to the joining of this small circular lace
piece and I want to know how to
Hello Janice and everyone
The 'lassen' is a hand-sewn join and yes you make a longer bit than you
need, so the end overlaps the beginning.
And yes, a good chance to remove an awkward start. You do have to decide
early where your join is going to be for the most invisible line, and for
strength.
Is Het Lassen the correct term for this joint? Does the lace actually
comprise of two ends that overlap and are sewn together at both ends of the
overlap? If so, doesn't that make a thick join? Or, do you make an overlap
and then after sewing both ends together at some convenient point, cut off
Hi Janice -
Het Lassen is a method of joining the beginning of the lace to the end
of the lace in a manner that is early invisible. It is believed to have
developed in Belgium during the early 1900's when the fashion for
handkerchiefs went from having the gathered corner (where the join was

What are Cattern Cakes supposed to look and taste like? e.g. are they
supposed to be crisp? crumbly? soft? do they really look like pinwheels?

measures, and haven't yet had a particularly tasty nor

I always think they look like what they should be, Catherine Wheels like
the fireworks, the texture is a bit like cookies not crisp but not soggy
either just fairly soft and crumbly.

Here is a recipe in USA measurements. Sorry, no picture.

I think this recipe varies a bit from the one in the 'Cattern Cakes' book.
This one has a breadI dough base (which matches the description I found on
other webpages)
Here is what started it all for me, and there is lace content - for this was
in 'The Lacemaker' the newsletter of the Lacemakers' Circle, No. 21, June
1993, by courtesy of one Carol Adkinson (hi Carol!). I have since tried
tweeking the recipes many ways, to use our N. American ingredients - and
A short while ago, Sister Claire was asking about winding bobbins. I

it was not the method I USE. And for the life of me, I could not
consciously remember exactly how it is that I wind bobbins. SO, I

I just love the accumulated knowledge and joint research the lace list
brings to a subject. Just one small reference I came across and we can, if
we wanted, start a Wiki entry on it. Most interesting.
Thank you everyone.

I would love to hear from anyone who has tried this recipe, a) in Britain
and b) elsewhere, and if new to you, if you would care to try it and share
the results (that is, how they turned out - of course I'd love a taste too
- you could fax me a cookie...). I have tried quite a few
