RE: [lace] Re: Colour Coding

Good morning all from dreary UK. To keep track of where I am in an intricate pattern, I use the method that Christine Springett taught me and many others: I put a copy of the pattern/pricking in an A4 plastic folder (if very large, I cut the diagram into one or more A4 pages with slight overlap.

Please stay on topic with the subject line or change it. I see tons of posts with topic "color code" while the content is about ghost pillows. Very confusing when skimming posts based on the subject line. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y

[lace] (Lace) marking enlargements of lace patterns

[lace] Lace affected by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma?

Some of us would like to know whether individual lace makers and members of local lace guilds have lost all their lace treasures due to Hurricanes Harvey and Irma.  The geographic area affected includes islands in the Caribbean, as well as Texas, Florida, and neighboring states.  Do individuals a

[lace] ghost pillow, voodoo pillow, pins

For most laces, some sort of diagram is usually sufficient to know where you are without further markings or pins. With the fine thread and confusion of Binche, or more complicated Flanders at least, that is not always the case. I began with sticking arrows, but pins in a cork board wins hands do
