Hi Lacers
I am one one of the lurkers because I don't feel I know enough
about it to ans questions and don't have enough time to venture into
any new things right now. I do read all the e-mails and do feel that
I learn from them so all you guys that do submit problems and those

Before the industrial revolution, crops were planted, and if you wanted
them to do well, you had to manually keep them weeded and the soil
aerated. You did this by hoeing the soil. You'd start at one end, and
work to the other. It was backbreaking work, usually in the heat of the
sun, and o
My GOODNESS! Tamara knows the *day* she joined Arachne! I must say
that I remember very well the circumstances around my joining, and so
can pin it down to the month and year, but I'm sure I'd never remember
the day!!

Lorri, who never picked cotton but my husband did a little.

I joined May 24, 1996. I remember because it was known on the list as Black
Friday. Majordomo crashed.When I got signed on, it was back up but all the
messages for 3 days were "What happened?" It was several days before
conversation got back to lace topics so I could see what the List was
Jeri,
I can't speak for everyone, but although I fall into more of an observer vs.
correspondent, I truly enjoy being part of the group. I enjoy reading the
emails and using what I've learned for my own lace making. I'd bet there
are more like me out there who like to know more about lace, read

Hi Jacqui
Yes, I remember Pat's gavel! That was a very special Convention in
Nottingham.
It must have been about the same time as you that I joined Arachne. I also
read about it in 'Lace'. I have remained a member all these years and it
was wonderful to meet some Arachnids in Groningen at
Brenda, what an interesting survey, and what a wealth of experienced
craftsmen/women there are here; a fantastic resource for those of us who are
starting out in lace making.
Today I went to Gawthorpe Hall (Lancashire, UK) mainly to see the Rachel
Kay-Shuttleworth textile collection and was ove

I can't remember when I joined, but I was on the Lace Guild Exec at the
time; Sally Chapman told me about it. I did two stints, 1992-1995 as
an ordinary exec member and 1996-1999 as Hon Sec.
I don't remember the arachne convention in 1998 - probably had Exec
business that evening.

It would have had to have been an exhausting humdinger of a meeting;
Arachne '98 (in Nottingham) was a week-long event :)

I've been on and off this list for several years. Off when in paid work and
on when out of work.
Having permanantly retired from pathology and moved to the country (last
year), I'm heavily into self sufficiency. Very large garden, chooks etc.

Thank you for the survey ( and yes,- I participated!!), and for publishing the
results.
However, if you ever do another one, - can it have a bigger section for
Needlelacers, please - and tatters too.. I would have liked to answer some
questions as a needlelacer, as I do more NL than BL these days

These sound like bangles we can get at a dollar store, or some of the chain
stores in the kids' jewellry dept. The diameter is about the same.

David, I'm sure I could dig up the current address of our Tennessee

The list is 14 years old? Then I must be mistaken about when I joined.
I guess those diapers were older than I thought! OK, I have to join

Hi Avital,
Your comment that majordomo is becoming creaky is of some concern. It is
only to be expected though after being in use all those years and technology
advancing. Should we be looking at updating in some way? Perhaps we could
all contribute a little to the cost as I am sure there wi
