Dear spiders,
Please trim your threads, er, I mean posts. I'm seeing a lot of double
footers, previous postings quoted in full, etc. Just leave the
relevant bits and DELETE everything else.
My Gmail account hides quoted bits, but every now and then, when I
have the time and I see long threads
Maxine, I think an option - especially if you like knitting with
circular needles - is, buying the Addi Click set. It includes a
connector that enables you to lengthen the cords. I have the KnitPicks
(or KnitPro set, as it is known in Europe) set which also contains a
connector. I think... Not
Dear lace lovers,
Would there be anyone who has the right source to define the type of
lace of the dress of Maria-Theresia. I mean the lace which she got on
the occasion of her inauguration in 1744.
Some sources, such as Santina Levey, mention Brussels lace. Some
others think it was made in
A quick question.
Are you referring to the dress in this painting used on Wikipedia:

Not all of us have the book, but would like to see what you are referring to,
if possible.
Thank you,

I have some similar bobbins made by Malcolm Fowler. I never saw any glass
bobbins made by the Millers, Jean, as you say they made (make?) lovely painted
bone bobbins. I suspect the seller had the box already and put it with the
bobbins to make it more attractive, and look more like a genuine set.
The glass bobbins on ebay, attributed to Diane Miller, look to me like Bill
Tuffnell (UK) bobbins. Bill Tuffnell used to make lovely glass bobbins (with
beads to match). I have watched him make bead filled glass bobbins and have
personally bought several pairs of clear and coloured, worry doll
Yes, indeed. Bill Tuffnell is still making glass bobbins among other
things. He was a speaker at our lace day a few years back and had us almost
crying with laughter. A real character as well as a very skilled craftsman.

Addi lace needles first release had a finish that tarnished and was more
grippy. They re-did the finish but I find they still do leave a greyed tinge
to light colors. It often isn't obvious until you work for a bit on white or
a pastel, and you can see the initial portion is a dirtied color.

I have Levey's book and looked at the cover. But from that it is impossible
to tell if it is needle or bobbin, or what kind. The open transparency of the
ground possibly suggests needle lace with a bar ground (large holes). Given
the time period the other kind of transparent ground
I would like to add my two-penneth about the makers of the glass bobbins.
Bill Tuffnell no longer makes glass bobbins.
The ones you can buy now are made by his son Martin who took over the business
a few years ago in East Yorkshire.

That wall hanging is a marvelous piece. And your photos are so clear. The

seeing the work in progress is interesting. This is an example of a principle
