Hi Avital,
Your comment that majordomo is becoming creaky is of some concern. It is
only to be expected though after being in use all those years and technology
advancing. Should we be looking at updating in some way? Perhaps we could
all contribute a little to the cost as I am sure there

Aah Nottingham! I was trying to think which Lace Guild convention it
went with, but Nottingham was OIDFA. I only went up there for one day
to see the exhibition. I think that was the xhibition where one of the
displays was dozens, perhaps a couple of hundred, lace butterflies.
As we have
I agree with you Jean.
I am subscribed to Yahoo bobbinlace but I don't often post there.
Somehow there seems to be a shallowness about the discussions on that
group which doesn't happen with Arachne, but I can't really say why it
is. It's not just that Arachne has long established members;

is possible to set up groups on Yahoo which are moderated, and people
can only join if approved, it seems though that the discussions on
those groups are,

I meant only that majordomo is not as user-friendly as some of the
newer programs. But it does work! It just has some difficulty dealing
with HTML, certain codes, and very polite subscription requests from
Tamara. ;-P I don't think updating it would be feasible. Arachne is
hosted
P.S.
In a way, Majordomo is quite appropriate for our list. Arachne is 14
(I think) years old, which is ancient by Internet standards. Most of
us aren't spring chickens. So it's no surprise that our server
software is old, creaky, and reliable. tongue in cheek

A few years ago, there was a lot of talk about how many years everyone

had her list. It was from 1995. I was on it. That is the ONLY reason I

I am not sure how long I have been on the list. Maybe a year or a little

I agree with you completely, Jean!! The Yahoo groups have so many bells

I've joined and left and rejoined a few times. I think it was Avital who
first told me about the list. I was just a tatter at first (and not a nun
yet); I didn't start bobbin lace until later. I remember that a few months
after I joined the first time there was an Arachne commemorative bobbin that
I'm not sure exactly when I joined Arachne. It would be around 2005/6 I
think. As a self taught lacemaker who has had only an occassional access to
a tutor the members of this group have been invaluable for their help. The
format is quite old fashioned compared to Yahoo etc., but I like that. I
Hi Everyone,
I'm mainly a lurker with an occasional post. I joined in late 1996, I
found Arachne after Jacqui Southworth's article 'internetting' in Lace
84, October 1996. At the time I was on a Compuserve newsgroup which was
mostly needlework with little lace so was delighted to find a list
I'm Ruth from Dubuque, Iowa, USA. I joined Arachne last fall following my
first IOLI convention in Rockford, IL. I learned about Arachne from Anita
Hansen from Cedar Rapids, IA who belongs to the Doris Southard Lace Guild
which has members from several towns in Eastern Iowa. I am also a member
Three years ago, I found the California, Sunnyvale Lace Museum and was talking
with the ladies about my grandmother making lace with wooden sticks. She
showed them to me and lo and behold, i found my grandmother bobbins and a
teacher and the rest is history.

A very large knit list hosted by a publisher, used majordomo, but had so many
problems with AOL (first they resolved them, then AOL bounced messages) so they
moved to another. THey had close to 10K or that list (or more) at the time,
and so problems are perhaps inherent.
I joined Arachne

Hello All! After moving to Erie, PA from North Canton, OH in Dec 2007, I was
suffering from cultural withdrawal. A friendly gal in Pittsburgh (Thank You
Amy) suggested that I join the list, perchance to find another lacemaker closer
than Grove City, PA or Cortland, OH with whom to commune.
I'm having a bit of a clearout (to make room for more stuff, of course) and
have decided to sell some books, patterns, and other bits and pieces. Most
of it is lace-related.

Dear Lesley,
How wonderful that you had this experience at Gawthorpe Hall.
Sometime in the 1980's I went to Gawthorpe. At that time, it was shabby,
and very cold. Still, my friends and I had a wonderful time looking at
laces and a variety of other needlework. Many pieces had been laid
Mark -
That's wonderful beautiful lace! And tinier than sewing thread? Are you
blind yet man? Or do you cheat and use a magnifying lens? I can't wait to
see the finished work. Please keep us posted with your progress.
