Hello everybody. I should introduce myself. My name is Cinde Horne (Society for Creative Anachronism name "Samrah" which is usually what I sign, since I have been playing in the SCA for 18 yrs, and most of my e-mail is SCA~a historical reincreation group~oriented).
I am really new to lacemaking, just started in December, and just got on this list. I do a goodly bit of sewing, and lots of embroidery~Palestinian in particular. My lace teacher is about 5 hours away so I don't see her nearly often enough. I guess I am a bit odd as I tend to actually like laces done with the heavy threads a bit better. Although I can work with the smaller threads, when it comes time to actually using the lace in blouses, etc., I like the effects of the larger threads. Sooo, I have been blowing the patterns for the 80 thread up about 20%. (In case this makes a difference, except in size of the finished product, or I have created a horrible social fopah!) I suppose you get requests for this all the time, but can you recommend your favorite beginning lacemaking books? I guess particularly Torchon at this point since that seems to be the best place to start. Thanks, Samrah [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
