Hi Everyone,
At the last OIDFA Conference (Groningen) I purchased some variegated thread
from a stall on the upper level that was in the bone to off white colours
but had no size or type on it. My question is does anyone remember or know
of the dealer so I can purchase some more as it worked up
Each state has a "bar association", which is the professional organization for
lawyers. They often call it just "the bar". Missouri is a state in the US,
not very far (by our standards) from where Mark Tatman lives. He just might be
an amateur painter.

Today I went downtown Chicago on the train along with a group of knitters. We
worked on the train knitting, but I did needlelace. We met a Chicago knitting
group at the French Market and sat and worked, in my case for about 4 hours
before I caught the train back home. This time I knitted goin
Those thin sheets are called 'hanky' I think?
They are stretched out coccoons. Some use saliva as the wetting agent. I

I found it!
It's a lace knitted skarf and you "spin" the silk to knit with! The kit
comes with a bunch of very thin sheets of silk fibers (about

I arrived home yesterday after a month in Vietnam with the usual load

However, with regard to lace, I found no sign of bobbin lace, tatting

I also have a spool of this thread - which came from the large stash of
a Belgian lace teacher. This spool was unopened when I got it, and has
a label on the cellophane covering, as well as another tucked inside the

Hello Lorri,
The book you mention is "101 Torchon Patterns", by Robin Lewis-Wild. I
cannot give you more details, because my book is the Spanish translation of
the original. So, the publisher is not the same as the English book.
Best regards..
