my German teacher named it the Bruges knot row - Brügger Knotenreihe. But I am
sure there are other names as well.
It is a pity that so many things in bobbin lacemaking with more than one name.
But who will say these one are the right ones.

When in the Brownies, I was taught to call the first half of a reef knot an
overhand knot.
I Googled overhand knot instructions and came up with:

Hello All! More 2 cents worth--that will make 6 cents for today! Many, many
stains may be removed safely with either vinegar or Murphy's Oil Soap. It
depends on what the stain is, oil soap removes oil-based, vinegar removes
others. I usually start with the oil soap, especially on dining
Hi Susan,
I have never used a cereal box myself, but a number of the experienced
ladies in class when I started taking bobbin lace lessons used cereal box
board, or even slightly thicker cardboard than that.

Is there anyone on this forum who belongs to the North Cheshire Lacemakers
group that meets in Helsby? I'm thinking of coming along, and it would be
nice to *know* someone before I go. (I'm not the most confident about
going into a group where I don't know anyone)

While in a desperate crisis of needing-to-start-a-project I have been known
to use a cereal box. I have also used subject dividers (like in a two-ring
box file).

I cover pattern and card with clear tape, the transparent 'magic' tape is
good because it doesn't cause glare, and it is cheap. Others use the blue
plastic film you can purchase by the length from lace suppliers. I don't
archive prickings, but I do like to use them more than once, often many
times
I do not actually make a lot of lace, for a number of reasons, so re-use of
a pricking is immaterial to me. I tend to simply photocopy the pricking in the
book on ordinary copy paper, and then, if it is a large pricking, I will use
the blue film to attach it to the pillow. I have made
If it is for a single use, I will often use file folders. I always seem to
have tons of them around. It is thinner than usual card stock, so I would not
use it for a lace with tightly packed pins, such as one of Ulrike's moths. :)
