Does anyone have a contact in the Queen's Collection? Devon
I'm answering to the list. It is a teaching moment to give everyone ideas
of how to do research. I have never had a reply from someone under age 50
who wants to learn this kind of thing (requested early this year), and at

As for where the train is, My only thought is the V A in London

Dear Elizabeth,
It would be nice to know what you have tried already. It is entirely
possible that lacemakers in Ireland have recently arranged to see this Youghal
lace train, and would know more.
You might try contacting the Kenmare Lace and Design Centre in Kenmare,

Dear Elizabeth,
When I was researching Borris Lace, I tried to inquire as the whereabouts of
the Borris Lace items purchased for or commissioned for the Royal Family.

set of table mats for the English Royal Train for the tour

Hi Alison -
Not all laces are worked with the wrong side up! I don't know what
kind of lace you're working, but if it happens to be one that is
traditionally worked wrong side up, then the question I would ask

While learning wire lace with Lenka Suchanek, here is how we added beads in

Wow Brenda! You are in the know! I went to their site a couple of days ago,
figuring that if anyone had them, they would, but didn't go into kits!
Thank you! You are so in the loop! I really appreciate it!

The only book I will take along is Practical skills in Bobbin lace. There
are enough pictures to stimulate the imagination but then there are all the
instructions to use for designing. Hopefully there will be paper and pencils
as well!!!

I think I'd have to grab one of my books by Eva-Lisa Kortelahti,
probably the 'Roses in Bobbin Lace' although the 'Let's make Bobbin
Lace' is just as much fun. I really like making the pictures, and have
done the Lacemaker, and the patterns with the mini car and the

My free advice is to take Alex Stillwell's Illustrated Dictionary of

As far as lace is concerned, it would have to be Lace-A History -
loads to read and photos to drool over.
Apart from that: Daniel Quinn if they give you lined paper - write

sociology). Like Sue d I would sneak in

I'll take the bound volumes of Discworld too with lace notes stuck in the

ok, take one lace book based on usage: it would be Threads for Lace.

Dear Betty Ann,

Best guess - would depend on the appearance of the 'make 1' in relation to
the pattern in one respect, however if the pattern has a lot of those,
perhaps use the method that is most efficient for the knitting. A YO isn't
precisely the same as a make 1 - in the first you are making an
