Re: [lace] Spencer

Hi My 101 year old Mother-in-Law tells me that a spencer is a fine woollen top with a low round neck and short sleeves that was worn rather like a vest. This would not have had lace on it. An interesting thread. Angela (visiting mother- in-law on the Sussex Coast) On 19 Jan 2012, at

Re: [lace] staying out of trouble another sewing tool

Hi These crochet hooks are beautiful and probably easier on the hands than the normal crochet hooks, however I use Clover Soft Touch hooks, they aren't nearly as pretty but really easy on my arthritic hands. Regards Angela (in rather grey Sussex) On 8 Jan 2012, at 00:36,

Re: [lace] Crochet hooks

Hi My mother was very dubious when I bought her one of the Clover soft touch crochet hook, saying she was quite happy with her usual one. However a couple of weeks later she couldn't stop singing it's praises. Not only is it easy to hold but the thread slips nicely on the shaft, I would

Re: [lace] Ning software

Hi Just looked on this site, it's brilliant, you can see all the messages in a row and a picture of each member (or any photo you chose to put up). I haven't really been following the thread, is this really going to happen for Arachne or is it just an idea? Either way it has my vote. Thanks

Re: [lace] kat stitch question

Hi Having only briefly followed the thread on teaching methods I thought it was a good place to let off steam and for teachers to understand our methods are not always seen in a positive light by our pupils. However I feel strongly that Arachne is NOT the place for PERSONAL attacks. What

Re: [lace] picots

Hi I have always used Alice's method to make my picots. I really struggled to make the threads 'snap' together when I first started Bucks Point, and this method was suggested to me by Pam Nottingham. It was supposed to be until I got the hang of it but I never changed back! Regards Angela

Re: [lace] How do you sit?

Hi I use a 'kneeling chair' when my back is bad, this enables your knees to take the stain rather than your back. I bought the cheapest one I could find several years ago and it has been fine. The rest of the time I sit on a dining chair with my stand pulled as close as is comfortable so that

Hi There is also a lovely one on the front of Eeva-Liisa Kortelahti's book 'Nyplatkaammme - Let's make lace'. If you can't borrow it from someone, I'm sure I could send you a copy of the pattern as long as it was for your own use. Angela In sunny Sussex On 10 Jul 2011, at 21:44,

Re: [lace] Tea Cosy

Hi What a lovely idea and so nice to be able to use your lace. Why not start by looking on the Internet for all different styles of tea cosy before you make your final decision. Then mock up a couple in paper or plain fabric to get the shape right. While your doing this think of all the

[lace] Making Lace a different way

Hi Help! Does anyone know of a website showing continental lace made slowly enough that I could copy the movements? I am a Midlands Lacemaker but have problems with my hands and find it painful to keep picking up my bobbins so need to learn a different method. I have been lent lots of
