Hello there -
As my subject line says, I need help unsubscribing. When I try the usual
method - sending an email to majordomo I get an error message telling me I
am not a member of the list. I have written to the moderator asking for
help, and I am still not unsubscribed. So what do I do now?
Dear Lacers -
Please forgive the cross-post, but I accidentally sent it to chat, when it should have
come here.
Hello all -
Since many, if not most, bobbin lacers also have interests and abilities in other
"gentle arts", I'm offering some booklets here on other arts. They are free, and if
I just wanted to thank everyone who answered my question about whether or not to take
lace with me to the hospital - both on and off list. I think it works out to about
50/50 "for" and "agin" - I'll decide when I get closer to the date.
For anyone who is interested - it's the "big H" because of
I was wondering if anyone has experience in this, and could pass on your
wisdom. I'm facing surgery in 2 weeks - which I will likely have under a
spinal/epidural. (I say that to say that my mind will remain alert post-op;
no guarantees with general anaesthesia) I'm thinking of maybe bringing a

I have been asked privately about bookmark prickings - since I sent in an email or 2
to the list about bookmarks - asking where to find prickings for them.
I know that one Arachnean - April - has a booklet of prickings - I have her catalog.
Usual disclaimer.
Could other bookmark makers please w
Someone once told me that "a mistake is a pattern", or something along that line.
Interesting thought, and I never forgot it.
Last week I was making "yet another" bookmark, and accidentally forgot to twist the
legs of the first spider. Rather than take it out (the work of a whole minute and a

before. Any suggestions on the region they might come from or what
type of lace they'd be used for? Or are they lacemaking bobbins at all?"

Hi all -
Last year I saw a pillow made of a cut-down cupboard drawer! It made it handy for
carrying, and provided a good angle for the work. At that time, I didn't have any
spare cupboard drawers handy (!!) - now after kitchen renos I do, but can't quite
remember the details. Can anyone help
Hi again -
I'm writing 2 separate emails because the two topics are totally unrelated.
I have an aunt, a retired home-ec teacher who has done just about every craft around,
living in Ottawa (moved about a year ago). She is quite intrigued with the fact that

Dear Lacers -
Thank-you for all the responses I got, privately and over the list, to the questions I
asked about determining the length of thread to use in any given pattern (but
especially the bookmarks I'm working at) and ideas for a footstool for when one is
making lace. I was given some r
Hello again, lacers -
I'm sending 2 emails because they deal with totally different subjects.
Recently I saw (on Lori's site?) a beautiful assortment of bookmarks. Were they the
results of a contest or something? Please enlighten us who are newer to the list.
Speaking of bookmarks, I'm in th
Hello lacers -
Some time ago there was reference made to having your feet on a footstool while making
lace. Would anyone have one that they could (privately) send me the dimensions for?
