Hi All,
Hear, hear Clay!! I could not agree with you more about using diagrams while
making Binche!! In fact I go further, one pin in the lace - pin in the same
place on the diagram. I use map pins and have a colour coding of my own
that I use. Green for a finished pin, yellow where there
I recently took a class where
the teacher said she doesn't mark the twists. This creates
confusion.
Drawing twists makes a diagram more error prone. Better no marks than wrong
marks. So it is better to teach them by mouth in those situations they don't
come natural with your level of
Good morning all,

Hi
Just looked on this site, it's brilliant, you can see all the messages in a row
and a picture of each member (or any photo you chose to put up).
I haven't really been following the thread, is this really going to happen for
Arachne or is it just an idea?
Either way it has my vote.
Thanks
Thank you very much for this link, I just spent an enjoyable few minutes
looking through some of the pictures. Some beautiful lace and I got hooked
on the simplicity of the look of the 1920's? perhaps images of the young
ladies. Very clever execution of the pieces. Lovely and the hands
I like Judith Holroyd's picture! It's worth going to the site just to see
what she put up as her ID!!

I took a class last year in which a local doctor wanted to learn how
to make lace so that he could make a fence like this. Here is a
webpage with a video about the show.

I think it depends on the person using the diagram, the thread choice
and whatever lace it is ;)
I like to see twists marked that aren't part of our usual bobbin lace stitches!
I can choose not to do them, or add more or less as it works out. If
the markings aren't there to remind me - I forget.

I agree with Devon Lorelie on this. I realize Arachne is text only, but I
don't see why we can't change that. ...

Of course this list is old school! ;-) Arachne must be one of the

mostly for historical reasons -- people are used to it after 15 years,

Hi Arachnids,
I agree with Alice and am thankful to Liz for facilitating Arachne. And the
mental exercise needed keeps the old brain-cells going. Use it or lose it,
both the brain-cells and Arachne (perish the thought). Not everyone wants
to specialise and be compartmentalised; Arachne has a
For me the most important thing about Arachne, which is missing from all of
the other lace forums that I've looked at, is that Arachne has a sense of
FRIENDSHIP, which is why I'll stay here and not join any of the others.
Very occasionally, someone will flame or get a bit pompous, but that's
I agree entirely with what Alice has said - I'm also a member of two
face book lace pages.
Whilst we are all busy thanking Liz and Avital for their work, can we
also all wish Avital a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY today?

Hi,
I was also in the workshop held at the AGM in Sydney and I must disagree, I

there were many). Alex was so giving in that class especially if you were

I am in total agreement here with Lorelie regarding how important arachne is
as a resource, forum and place of refuge.
What we are forgetting here is
that social networking is an unsecure place. Many people will simply not use

I think that the issue of arachne going on Ning has been put to bed,
