[lace] making a leaf tally

2009-09-08 Thread Elizabeth Ligeti
Well done, Tess.That was Very interesting. I have never seen a tally made that way, - but you make it look so easy! Using Midlands bobbins might make it a bit hard, but using the Continentals is a good idea. I hold the 3 passives in the left hand and , going tail/spangle first, I weave the worker

Hello Tess and everyone Tess! this little video is fantastic *and* useful, thank you and your friends :)) I have seen the first 5 and a half minutes - on dialup, it took nearly an hour and a half to download that (what we do in the cause of lacemaking...), and I stupidly clicked something that dis

What Eve says is correct (well spotted!), although not because of majordomo. Arachne's archiving is done with a free service because the majordomo archive hasn't worked for years (probably needs tweaking and I don't have the password). So we use mail-archive.com.

Jacquie, I don't think that it will show in the archive because Rosemarie sent her post to dont.panix.com. Those of us on the reflected list see it, not sure about the digest but it doesn't get collected for the archive by majordomo. Please correct me if I've got it wrong but I vaguely rememb

Having seen Rosemarie's post about the fence, and noticing that she has included all her contacts details in with her signature, I went to the archives to see if it showed up there. Strangely, the only one I can about the lace fence is the most recent from Jo Falkink so I am unable to tell. I

I found that really interesting and useful. I have always used midlands bobbins and because of certain difficulties using my hands I have never been able to do it the way my teacher showed us (which was to hold 3 bobbins within the fingers of one hand and thread the weaver in and around using t

Like David I too make leaves and tallies with Midlands bobbins. I was taught by Christine Springett, and my leaves are slowly looking more like beech leaves than holly ones. The phylosophy over here is that you get perfect by the time you have done 1000 of them - still a few to go. Anyway, what
