Thank you Brenda and Jane,
I just printed it off bigger, following your suggestions. As it was a
pretty small piece, the larger print still looks like it will work and comes
up a bit like a large church window which was what I was looking for and I
think will still fit inside one of those card
Hi Sue
The various working angles of different Bucks patterns doesn't make a huge
difference to the size of thread needed. A rule of thumb is that if you make a
winding of 10 wraps it should fit snugly between two adjacent pinholes along
the footedge (or two vertical pinholes within ground) fo

Dear Susan,
An expanded version of the Coco Chanel quote has been on the front of
Lacemakers of Maine's handout for 15 plus years. We believe if you give
someone a piece of paper, you should give them a reason to keep it. The
handout
was so carefully written that it is still current, exc
I've just spent a week high in the French Alps and was lucky enough to come
across a French lacemaker demonstrating at a Mountain Festival in Tignes.
Unfortunately my French has been hard hit by spending time in Austria
attempting to use German and the lady had little English but I hope she

Thanks Lynne, for sharing the photos! What a nice thing to see on your
holiday. I love those bobbins! I have a few of them - old ones found
on eBay - and I think it would be fun to work with them in the way they
were designed to be used.

Grandma crocheted, and Mother only made 3 sweaters for me when I was little, so
my sock pattern comes from a leaflet. The only change I've made is to use 5

Hi there :-)
My enquiring mind wants to know...
What do you all do with the tote bags that you bring home from these
conventions?
I have 5 now. One has patterns in it. One has my demonstrating "kit" for
the fair. One still has all the stuff I bought at that con in it.
How about you?

I use some for the same purposes you do. When I accumulate too many, I take
some down to a knitting shop locally. There are woman that gather who do
not have any extra income, but love to have a bag to carry their knitting on
the bus!

Hi Lauren:
Just yesterday I noticed how many I had, too.
I don't go to a lot of conventions, but you'd never realize it from the pile of
bags. The best ones, the higher-quality cloth, etc, I might use out in public
as general totes for library books and dancing shoes and so on. Some have
