Hi all,
The "patience statement" as I call it, used to get on my nerves. Now, I
just answer what I see as the issue: "Actually, I do lace and
needlework because I don't have the patience to sit doing nothing or to
sit in front of a television." I then go on to explain that if I sit in
front of
Hello everyone,
For those of you who don't know me, I'm a lurker, who has been lurking
since the beginning of Arachne, mainly due to lack of time in following
threads and answering. Once in a while, I pop up out of the blue and
let everyone know I'm still here, and still quiet.
I've been followi
Just to add a bit more information, Treenway has several silk threads
that are an absolute delight to tat with. I have used both Bombyx silk
and the blends, silk and cotton, and silk and wool. I love working with
the threads, and the results are stunning!

Dearl,
You asked about joining at the end of a round. Yep, that's a difficult
one. I tried lots of things before finding an easy way, and that was
explained on the list. Now, let's see if I can explain it.
When you get to the point where you want to join:
1) grab the picot, and flip i

This is going to sound silly, but it's what I used to do. Try Wet Naps.
For those of you wondering I'm talking about, it's those little

Hello,
And the question was: Is there something lace-related that you have
wanted for years but could not get either because they're very hard to
come by, or you could not justify the expense?
And the answer: YES. Plenty. Let's see:
1) I could use more time.

Hi,
As usual, I'm a little late in reading my e-mail, but I thought I would
just drop into the list for a few minutes on this topic.
I like making motifs, of all kinds, in tatting and bobbin lace. I have

Hello,
I'm thinking of mixing bobbin lace and needlelace. Here's the
question. Let's say I'm making a Russian-type lace doily, and have made
the tape/braid in 60/2 linen. Sould I decide to make needlelace inside
the doily, what size of thread would I use to make the needlelace? Do I

I managed to "fry the motherboard" on the computer and lost about two
weeks worth of messages. The good news is, I'm almost caught up with
the messages. I missed the original question on Idrija, but did see
Bev's answer, so, I'm hoping that the following will answer the question

Hello,
I have four pillows, two small, one medium, one large. There is always one

against the wall, behind the chair that is in front of the pillow stand. I
call it my lace corner.
On the other hand, I have an army of b

I will be in Halifax, for one day, on May 23, 2004. I was just
wondering if there are any lace related events/places that I should not
miss.

Hi Steph,
I use the cradle in Tatting Treats by Pam Palmer. It is fun and fairly quick to
make, and goes very well on a card. I use a dark dull gold, and it looks
scrumptious. I usually keep one on hand, and have given several away. They are
very well received.
In one case, it was a second ch

No, you're not the last one, mine is still to come. Before I commit to making a
lot of an edging, I really have to like it, because, you see, I don't like lace
edgings. So, I keep on looking for a pattern that I like, and, well, how can I
put this: I'm still looking. Every few weeks, I

There's starch, and then there's a wee bit of starch.
I make my greeting cards by tacking a piece of lace (tatting or bobbin lace)
onto cards. These are small motifs, they are not heirloom pieces, and they will

Hello,
Actually, I would say that it is both warm enough and cool enough. This is my
favorite period of the year, when the temperature goes to 25 to 30C daytime,
and then drops around 15C during the night. The days are warm, and the nights
are cool, there are flowers in the garden, it rains ever
