[lace] Lace Magazine
Hello I also got my copy of the Lace Guild magazine on Tuesday. In it is a memorial for Pat Payne by her daughter Jo. Pat was the lacemaker who started Norfolk Lacemakers here in Norwich England in the 1970`s. In my opinion is was a lovely thing for Jo to have done for her mum. On the headstone is Pats name and underneath it is lacemaker. A fitting tribute indeed.

Re: [lace] Lace magazine
Hello Pene I remember from a week or two ago that you said you were entering a design in the Powerhouse Museum competition. I hope that you got it ready in time. I also spent several weeks on a design and just got it entered in time. I wish you luck in getting your entry accepted. I know that if mine is accepted I will be buying an airline ticket to Australia to see the exhibition and also to see my new grandchild in Melbourne.

[lace] Was Coats: Now Twist of Yarn (S or Z)
The direction of spin makes a lot of difference to some lacemakers and not much to others depending on how they handle the bobbins on their pillow. I personally don't have a problem with either direction of spin but some people do find that one direction or the other tends to unwind as they move the bobbins about. Generally any thread originally intended for lock-stitch sewing machines, whether for stitching seams or embroidery, will be Z spun to suit the action of the mechanisms and anything intended for hand sewing, or bobbin lacemaking, is S spun as that suits the majority of (right handed) stitchers. Brenda *** Additionally, lace knitters do best with an S/Right twist for German/Continental, and a Z/Left twist for English/Throwers when knitting. This often explains inordinate twist and unfurling that must be done with some knitting styles and yarns. Just in case it is helpful info for some. It definitely becomes helpful information when spinning your own yarn.

Wasn't it Karen Bovard (can't remember the spelling of her surname) - I was going through some old photos the other day, and came across the one that Rosemarie Peel took of her holding the tatted picture of a motorbike that she had done... think that was one of the IOLI events that Rosemarie went over to teach at, but not sure which year (they all roll into one these days!!!) I'm presently planning on working another steam loco in lace - bobbin this time - and if anyone else is into steam locos and wants to see my photos from the gala at the Welsh Highland Heritage Railway (Porthmadog - I volunteer there) let me know off list and I'll send you the link. -- Jane Partridge - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
