I'll second that, but add another "wrinkle"... :) I've been on the list almost since its inception (joined in June od '95; 2 months after it started), and, in that time, I have identified the lace techniques I'm comfortable with and found one (Milanese) where I feel I might be better than average. But there's never an end to learning; even with Milanese, every now and then a discussion "thread" will pop up which will have a "ply" that's unfamiliar -- and illuminating. Due to various factors (people subscribing/unsubscribing; old-timers "resting" while "newbies" gain confidence, etc), the very same question can elicit different answers at different times. I've always found *all* the answers interesting, even in the techniques where I'd thought I knew it all and I had no questions to ask :) It's one of the reasons I've always been a bit leery of the idea of FAQs; while I accept that a lot of people are to shy to "expose" themselves and ask "stupid questions" in public, to my mind questions are likely to stir up something new among the answers, as well as making it quite clear tat there's always more than one answer to any question (more than one way to skin the cat ). While FAQs tend lo leave an impression thtat they're *The* answer, chiselled in stone... - Tamara P Duvall Lexington, Virginia, USA Formerly of Warsaw, Poland http://lorien.emufarm.org/~tpd/ - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: [lace] another new person
Welcome newbies, one and all! There's no proficiency requirement for membership, just a love of lace in any of its forms. By all means, ask questions (how else will you learn?) and post opinions and answers when you have them. Robin P. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA -Original Message- Looking forward to reading the list and learning from all of the very experienced and incredibly talented folks that I've already seen on here. I've been looking at posted links and have to admit I'm a bit intimidated! Hopefully no one will mind a newbie lurking around and trying to learn.

[lace] another new person
I'm yet another new person who just joined the list, nice to know I'm not the only newbie! I took a basic class on bobbin lace and fell in love. I'm working on one small easy easy pattern right now and enjoying it immensely. I'd like to learn more about this and keep improving my skills and knowledge but have no idea how to go about this since we recently moved to a new area and I know no one who does any lacemaking in this area. I'm in central Kentucky now if anyone has any ideas or suggestions for me.

They are as Patty said clearly marked, imaginative torchon. Give it a try - but only if you have a pillow big enough. That makes it much more fun to work, than trying to balance the bobbins on a pillow which is too small Sue [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The technique is not difficult, mostly Torchon grounds, which Eeva-Liisa uses in very imaginative ways. But they are large. The Vine is almost 24" wide and 30" long. It requires mostly 70/3 Pella linen, but the leaves add 50/3 Pella linen workers to add definition to the central motif. The working drawing is right on the pricking itself. I find everything to be clearly marked. I made a deal with a quilter friend at church to make a backing for The Vine so we can present it as a hanging. Now I just have to make the lace!
