Hello All! Ithaca Lace Day (Columbus Day weekend) was fabulous as usual! IOLI Finger Lakes Guild is a great host & the class lineup was superb. I was in Carolyn Wetzel’s Frisado class & my finished project is posted to Arachne Flickr. On Friday, before the event, I visited the Mann library at Cornell University with my roommate & we had a blast in the stacks. It was like an all-you-can-read buffet of lace books & I am smitten by their book on Rosaline! I did some speed reading & made a few copies then purchased a book from Holly at ILD. Now that I’m home, I would like to have a better understanding of why a lacemaker would start out with a rolled clump of threads! And is this the only lace that starts with a bundle? I vaguely remember a thread bundle in Rosa Libre but I think that was for moving the threads from one section to another. Will an expert share some background info on this very lovely lace? I would like to give it a try. Many thanks. Sincerely, S! usan Hottle USA
