Hi Noelene and other spiders,
I purchased some very fine stainless steel thread (just stainless
steel--not blended with anything) from Habu at a knitting festival last
year. I saw some blended with wool at the time too. I haven't used it
yet, but it was just too intriguing not to buy! I'll
Dear Arachnes,
I realise that a lot of you are traveling this month but the stories
are getting a bit long and the threads they generate are veering
off-topic. I gently suggest that you move them to lace-chat, unless
you're actually describing lace classes or views of a lace collection.
Thank-you
Hello All! I just finished a quilt for a REAL Texas cowboy who's family
been in Texas before it was a state. His family name is Cantu. I think that we
need to talk about lace sometime instead of horses and mules. Yogurt, I make 1
or 2 quarts everyday. Currently I use nonfat dry milk a bit of he

While at first I figured that Bart and Francis had simply missed the
"plain" yogurt, their search seems to have been very focused and thorough. I am
beginning to wonder if US regulations relating to pasteurization are in play
here. I understand that people have to join clandestine "milk
I purchased a reel of Habu silk and stainless steel thread at a craft show
last week, and have made up a simple gathered flower in bobbin lace in it
(from Springetts Lace for Children of All Ages).
It works up fine. The thread does not retain a curl from having been
wrapped around a bobbin, a
Oh yes, Francis...
I *do* make my own yogurt. There *are* plain, unsweetened yogurts
available, but you do have to look for them. I have found a brand of
Greek-style yogurt that I like very much, and make a batch each week.
I use organic milk and a container of the purchased plain Greek yo
Hello everyone!
A week ago I got home from my first trip to Italy. Three amazing weeks. For
the first two I had the pleasure of being guided and accompanied by my
friend and Cantu lace mentor, G. A few lacey highlights:
We stared at lace everywhere. In St. Peter's Cathedral in Rome we noticed

I enjoyed the Part 2. We should all see our countries through someone else's
eyes!
Whole Foods is a high-end grocery. Or rather, they sell more organic foods
compared to other supermarket chains. I'm surprised you didn't find a yogurt
you liked there, as I have seen Greek yogurt.
Isn't travel wonderful. Thank you Francis for your observation of
LA. I lived there for 55 years and this is the first time I've seen
it through a European's eye. You are so "right on".
I love to travel, but I don't have Francis' keen eye, nor her talent

May I suggest you ask the concierge to look up the location of the nearest
Trader Joe's grocery store - there you will find inexpensive European and Greek
style whole milk unsweetened yogurt (it has cream on top) -look for Trader
Joe's brand.
You will also find local and imported chocolate, c

Francis,
We loved meeting you and Bart at the convention. It was quite a
treat to see all your threads and the question and answer (not a lecture) on
Thursday night was very enlightening. Your knowledge of your product is very
impressive.
I love reading your impressions of your first visit to t
Don't be too hard on yourself, Sherry. The male name Francis isn't all
that common in the US so it's an easy mistake to make, especially on a
list that is predominantly female. It took me a while to learn:
FrancIs (like St. Francis of Assis) = generally male
FrancEs = generally female
