Hi All
I have to admit that I have copied it onto my computer!! I haven't
got the advantage of the book that Clay has!! (I didn't even know one
existed until just now!!!) The first book I bought was written in
Dutch, fortunately an english translation came with it.
The spreadsheet is extremely useful to those of us who haven't 'been
making lace since forever'.... (I've only been making lace just over
12 months, and very part time at that!)
So, THANKS girls. You are BRILLIANT!!

Subject: Re: [lace] Lace terms spread sheet
Hi everyone -
This has been an interesting thread, but I admit that my foggy brain
is not quite able to understand the advantage here...
I have a copy of the "International Lace Dictionary" (Spee, van den
Kieboom, Coene) 1998. It is far more comprehensive than the spread
sheet, and of course the terms can be searched through 16
languages. I don't quite understand the advantage of the Google
spreadsheet, unless it is meant to augment the Lace Dictionary.
(But so far, the words are all relatively basic...)
I do love the potential for adding and editing, and can see that
there are words in many languages which can have different
connotations depending on how they're used. The spreadsheet could
possibly address these quirks. Should there be a section on
conjugations? (always my weakness!)
My hat is off to Jo and Achim for all the work they've been willing
to do for the rest of us!
