The problem with the method in the video is that the bobbins are being held
up in the hands and her fingers are supple. I couldn't do that because my
hands aren't supple and also would become tired within a few minutes.
Assuming I could do it at all, I'd have to stop and rest them before I
Dear Jean and fellow Arachnids,
Firstly I have to say how much I admire Jean for finding ways around her
problems and still producing beautiful lace.
Secondly, with apologies to cat-lovers, there are many ways to skin a cat.
There are as many ways of making lace as there are lacemakers.
I sure admire you for persevering in the face of your problems.

Dear Jean et al,
What can I say, Jean, except that sounds like a particularly frustrating
situation. As one with no cartilage in one joint of both thumbs per x-rays, I
look for other methods so I'm ready when the time comes. Sometimes my thumbs

Hello All! As you may recall, I have many textile-related interests. To that
end, I belong to ANG (American Needlepoint Guild) this morning there was a
small reference to a US-made product that is touted to remove all manner of
stains. It is called Restoration made by Engleside Products
I made bobbins with bamboo skewers and beads, but I found after I had wound a
few, that the wood was not very smooth and snagged the thread. It had felt
okay in my hand but not in use.
Knitters who use bamboo skewers for
knitting (socks for instance), smooth them with fine sandpaper or a nail
The other reason isn't choice; as I said previously, my fingers don't work
properly. It seems to be an interruption to the signal between my brain and
my fingers, probably in the same way that the tingling and pain in carpel
tunnel syndrome is cause by pressure on the nerve by inflammatory tissue
No Susan, it isn't neuropathy associated with the cervical spine - my
rheumatologist has confirmed that it seems to be an interruption to the
signal between my brain and fingers and is not uncommon. I don't get pain,
just loss of control, unlike when I had carpal tunnel syndrome which was
Just ordered the beautiful Archer Jubilee commemorative bobbin. It's
expensive, but looks rather lovely. Only downside is that it's popular and
there's a wait of about 12 weeks for it.
It's shown in his on-line catalogue:

Jean,
I have nerve damage in my left hand...symptom's similar to carpel tunnel but
not fixable. I just accept slow is the way it is and continue doing
bucks-point and knitted lace, clumsily but carefully. Now complicated with a

I would be interested to hear what other problems people have (not
only arthritis) and how they've overcome them so they can make lace,
I have severe osteoarthritis. Not twinges now and then but started

ten years and may
Hello All! The last time I mentioned this subject, several of you agreed that
it was a clever idea something you wanted to try. Have you? If so, were you
successful or did problems sprout like weeds after a rain storm? Let's just

Hello to One and All!
The beautiful bobbin is on page 14 of the catalog. I
would love to have 1! SIGH

I have fibromyalgia and arthritis. I have been told I also have carpal

it isn't neuropathy associated with the cervical spine - my

All the nerves from the brain run through the cervical
spine, and when there is interruption there, it causes the neuropathy.
This video is for tourism to Normandy, but I thought you might enjoy not only
it, but esp. the brief visual of Alencon lace toward the last section of the
video.
Of course you can stop it to study it more:
