I met to send this to the Lace list not Lace chat. I really need help. Please
forgive me for cross posting here.
I need help!! I crochet left handed. I have tried over the years to do it
right handed but I just can't do it. Funny that I tat right handed but I think
it is because most of the
I have just come back from Owen Sound, Ontario, where the local small
group of lacemakers was joined by others from "away"--from southern
Ontario, New Brunswick, me from Maine, and perhaps others whose names
I didn't catch or can't remember just now. It was a lovely group of

Brian,
This is very similar to how I made my first 'homemade' bobbins. I still use
them with thicker threads, as they were quite coarse/heavy.
I now have a nice 14" lathe but rarely get time to use it. So many projects -

I haven't made the tape, but did read the directions quite awhile back, and
can't remember right now. The mirror should work if you view your work from a
mirror, with standard directions. Many left handed knitters (who also knit
from left to right) teach themselves that way. I don't see how reve
I am off to teach a class so rushed, but looked up this from Nordic Needle:

The main point is to look at it conceptually, in that if you can do a SC, then
do that left handed, and turn your work clockwise, working the next, etc. as
the steps repeat.
Wanted to report that the glue problem is solved. The bookmarks are safe.
One collar had a silk ribbon through a cucumber edge on the footside. The glue

easy.
The two bookmarks were next. I tried my 'old faithful' m
I've just put up the second of a two part series on Collecting English
lace-related tokens on LaceNews.
Coming up, probably on Saturday, will be an interview with Lace Dealer Maria
Niforos - quite an amazing piece.
And, another set of exhibitions, Lace Days, and meeting announcements.

It would be nice if we posted the names of bobbin makers from whom we have
