At Pudsey lace fair I bought a kit to make a shawl in Torchon lace, using

Hi Arachnids,
At present I am racking my brain to think of something to do for the
Christmas exchange. I am also working -very slowly- on a dragon's face for
my son. I have taken a drawing out of a design book of dragons (The Big Book
of Dragons) and am working it directly onto the drawing as

Well there is so little to do on the Honiton piece, you could finish that
very quickly. How about that one after you have finished the piece of

Last Thursday I finished the Isis Heart I started in Ithaca. GEEZ!!! Are the
mistakes ever glaring. But it was a VERY good learning piece. Thanks,

I've thought about using a merino silk blend to make a scarf (Jaeger
spun Zepher) but I was worried it might stretch too much when
finished. When I was first knitting with alpaca, my daugher - who is
an accomplished spinner - told me that it has a tendency to stretch
more than wool (if I'
Hi Nita
The material I am using is 70% baby alpace, 25% silk and 5% cashmere.
My lace teacher warned me about stretching, but on testing (i.e. stretching
a length of it),
it does appear not to be that stretchy; whether it is the silk that makes it
less so, I do not know.
The showl should be abo
I am currently working on a scarf (from Brigitte Bellon's book). I initially
used alpaca but had a very difficult time since the alpaca was thinning when

Jenny,
The garter piece looks very nice. I have just completed a strip for my
convict bonnet, with a from ear to ear I am really pleased with it
and it is a major achievement because I designed elements I had seen in
other lace, but differently using my design program. This one which Ruth

Dear Friends,
the list sure is quiet. S, I thought I'd ask what you are doing this

Not much actually - lace-wise. I have about 2 months more work to do
on this petit point portrait I'm doing in 16 shades of B&W at 50 sts
per inch. I'm managing to put in about 3 hours p
