Hello Everybody
I just spent a focussed evening working on the diagram for the Binche piece
I'm trying to make. I suppose that by the time you get to Binche, you are
supposed to be so smart that you can think upside down and backwards at the
drop of a hat.
I'm working the 2nd piece in Verbeke-Bil
Where can I find a list of planned lace days for September 2011 in
England/western Europe.

One good place to start would be the Lace News Blog http://lacenews.net/ .
Lots of UK lace days on that.
Also a good place to send any Lace News to, to make it an even more
comprehensive resource.

Then... drum roll... I discovered lace! And so for years, my knitting
(or what was left of it) sat idle in an out-of-the way place. When I
re-discovered it a few years ago, the earth had rotated many degrees,
and charts had come into play!!! I took to them like a duck to water!!!

Other Nations: Remember that the videos made for American equipment will

These days in Australia our digital TVs or Set Top Boxes can cope

Swanley in Kent has it's lace day on the 2nd Saturday in September. Details
should be in the Lace Guild magazine I think.

Hi Lorelei and everyone
You have nailed something I've been mulling over ever
I know I have seen discussions on this before and I apologize for not having
the time to research this on my own, but someone asked me about color codes
for Bobbin Lace.
I seem to remember that there was some standard, but I cannot remember where
I saw it. I also know that in the Cook and Trat

Hi spiders,
Just to let you know that when I spoke to Christine Springett not so long
ago she said that they were not producing any more videos/DVDs. She said
that as any production run is limited because the market is limited for
specialist lace videos/DVDs this makes the costs prohibitive. A
At the turn of last century when the Princess pillows came out, the best known
instruction book was the French DMC book by Dillmont. It was written with
numbered step by step instructions. The Princess company used the method

For many people, this can get them started. But, as men

Dear Arachnids
I always worry about the modern trend of making lace fillowing route map
charts. This is only another form of 'making lace by numbers'. A true
lacemaker is able to 'read a pricking', i.e. be able to look at a pricking and
interpret what to do by looking at the relationship between

Every day I have to contend with the fact that people learn through different

would think that it would attract the same type of person but it simply
doesn't.

Clay and all,
For now think I am way newer than you and without benefit of knowing how to
knit or crochet, I really need the instructions and diagrams.
My dear "teacher" in England is sooo patient with me, but if I didn't have
her very detailed instructions, I would never have been able to complete

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good magnifier or jewelers loop that
is good for viewing lace? It is time for me to get a new one, and I have
never really been happy with the one I have anyhow.

For good closeup viewing when at home, I use a lens that went a-stray
from its (pre-digital) camera.
I have a fold-up magnifier called a 'linen tester' that is useful,
too. It can be tucked into a pocket or purse.
