pretty small piece, the larger print still looks like it will work and comes
up a bit like a large church window which was what I was looking for and I
think will still fit inside one of those
Hi Sue
The various working angles of different Bucks patterns doesn't make a huge

the footedge (or two vertical pinholes within ground)
Thanks for the link Susan.
Via the website I also found some youtube videos of a French documentary re
one season Karl Lagerfeld Chanel haute couture collection (2005, I think)
from first sketches to the show. Focuses on the ateliers, seamstresses,
embroiderers, shoe makers, braid-maker (amazing

Dear Susan,
An expanded version of the Coco Chanel quote has been on the front of
Lacemakers of Maine's handout for 15 plus years. We believe if you give
someone a piece of paper, you should give them a reason to keep it. The

I've just spent a week high in the French Alps and was lucky enough to come
across a French lacemaker demonstrating at a Mountain Festival in Tignes.
Unfortunately my French has been hard hit by spending time in Austria
attempting to use German and the lady had little English but I hope she
Thanks Lynne, for sharing the photos! What a nice thing to see on your
holiday. I love those bobbins! I have a few of them - old ones found
on eBay - and I think it would be fun to work with them in the way they
were designed to be used.

Grandma crocheted, and Mother only made 3 sweaters for me when I was little, so
my sock pattern comes from a leaflet. The only change I've made is to use 5
needles instead of 4, but I have resisted all other attempts to modernize me.

Hi there :-)
My enquiring mind wants to know...
What do you all do with the tote bags that you bring home from these
conventions?
I have 5 now. One has patterns in it. One has my demonstrating kit for
the fair. One still has all the stuff I bought at that con in it.
How about you?

I use some for the same purposes you do. When I accumulate too many, I take
some down to a knitting shop locally. There are woman that gather who do
not have any extra income, but love to have a bag to carry their knitting on
the bus!

Hi Lauren:
Just yesterday I noticed how many I had, too.
I don't go to a lot of conventions, but you'd never realize it from the pile of
bags. The best ones, the higher-quality cloth, etc, I might use out in public
