Dear Liz, somewhat behind with my digest, I hope my translation still can be helpful for you: > > Date: Wed, 10 Dec 2003 17:10:16 +1100 > From: "Elizabeth Ligeti" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: [lace] Translation, please > > Please could someone who speaks German translate the following > words/phrases:- > > 1)Dreher oden einzelnes Paar > 2) Flechten > 3) Prinze�schlag > 4) Falscher Flechter (false something?) > 5)gemogelter Dreher, Kreuzknoten. (is this a twisted thread bar?)
1) Dreher oder einzelnes Paar: twisted pair (ttt...) or single pair 2) Flechter: plait ctctct... 3) ehm, I have to look up this one. It's not the same as venetian plait, which is "Venezianischer Flechter" in german. still, it's something quite simple, and I know I explained it while translating some of the butterfly patterns. btw: my translation is a private effort, to help other lacemaking friends. Everybody who bought the book is free to use my clumsy translation - I doubt Ulrike Loehr would dislike it, but I will ask her at the next opportunity (may 2004 ;-) ). 4) "mock plait": Imitation of a real plait by twisting a pair uitable numbers of twists to fill a gap, sew it into the already finished part of lace and work back agin by *tt- sew around the twists*, repeating from * to * as often as neccessary. 5) gemogelter Dreher: "mock twisted pair" - don't know what it meaning is in this context, i don't have this book 5) Kreuzknoten: reef knot. could it be that a reef knot should replace a simply twisted pair for security? Late, maybe not too late? And I'll check the Prinze�schlag Eva, Haltern, Germany - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
