[lace] webshot album
I was so amazed that I had managed to set up the webshot album that I forgot to mention in the orginal note who "sheilabucks" is, I must explain that it is the new name for Sheila Brown of Sawbridgeworth,E.Herts. for use with the photo album. I didn't want to be Sheila Brown 116! Never thought there would be as many with my name, but wouldn't it be a hoot if we all had the same birthday!. Hope this clears up any confusion. From a lovely, sunny Sawbo' good morning to you all.

It's "I" that's going to St Ives, the rest are coming from there, so the people need to be facing away from the village. If they were all going to St Ives it would be a maths problem not a riddle. If you want it to be the viewer who is "I", then the people need to be coming towards you, not going from side to side on the panel. There are 3 St Ives in England, the best known being the one in Cornwall. I can't find any evidence as to which one is referred to in the rhyme; it could have been just because it happens to rhyme with wives. So it doesn't matter much what the village/town (if you have one) looks like as there is no distinguishing feature like a cathedral tower.

No, you do not need a person who is the "I". The *viewer* can be the "I". And, yes, a sign "To St Ives" needs to be in the first section, pointing to the far end. And there could be a sign at the end that just says "St Ives" if part of the village is shown The people would mostly be facing the "TO". sign, except for a wife who stopped to pick up a lost sack and is turned around while picking it up.

[lace] Re: Knipling-Festival in Tönder 3 (long)
Hello everybody, Jenfeld, the part of Hamburg , we live celebtate its 700year- jubilee, that's why I am a bit late. We have here an archive/museum which is normaly only once a month open. So I forgot allways to go there and have a look, but now it is open all the days of the celebration and we did it. I learned that this part is the so callled coastel sandy moorland built by the last ice-time. It was called "Yellow Field" before and for 700 years the first people settled here. We, DP and I live here for 29 years only but if we try very hard we are perhaps still here in 671 years. Ok back to lace, read Tönder. In the Brorsonhus, Östergade 14, we could see several things. One of them a big collection about the Europian tape-laces. In other showcases were the lace-jewelleries and some collers from Jana Novak and collers from Eva Fialowa and other tcheque lace artists. As well as wonderful fine tape-laces from Lepoglava, Croatia with little flowers and tendrils and other laces. And what was surprising for me a whole showcase full of "Three Pairs Flanders Stitch" something I saw for the first time on our Kongreß in Bad Pyrmont where a lace-friend of mine from Dresden gave a class about. This is in a way a easy work but looks so fine and decorative. Also some russian tape-laces with colours and motives like leaves, animals and houses from Sebastina van der Herike and the fantastic designs from Riet Delescen were on display. After all that lots more in Dröhses Hus, Storegade 14. Here you could admire very big tablecloths with lace over and over. In another room the work of Astrid Hansen, an examined lace-teacher, was shown the properly done workinschemes the lace-samples, the hole way she make a lace class. I am not sure if you are interested in her live, if so let me know and I can tel you later. Very interesting was the lace-pillow from queen Alexandrina, she did lacemaking all her live long and died in 1952. It was made from Carl Abildgaard in 1900. On the pillow is a Tönder-lace "Rikke" and it is possible that this was her last work. After the death of the queen the first lady-in-waiting heired the pillow. Later queen ingrid got it and today it belonged to Tönder Museum. There was another lace-pillow which belonged to Berthe Marie Alexandersen (1819 - 1899) which married in 1840 the farmer Hans Alexandersen born 1777. It is not the pillow which is so interesting, they found a very small notice-book inside in which she wrote at the end of a week how many scallops she had worked and than convert into danske cubits, this had, one cubit were 27 scallops. First they read the booklet wrong it was the lace-searcher Ebba Busch who found out how to read the thing. So we know now that Berthe had worked from this lace 1228 d.cubits and about one and half year before she died 1623 d. cubits plus 12 scallops this are in meters 1019, I let you to convert it in feet. I could tel til next week but I must do also something else. For ending with Tönder I tell you about a needle lace from Hungaria the Halas-lace. I had heard of this and still seen one or two pieces and here I had lots of them. It is a fine lace with clear motives, really lovely . It started in Kiskunhalas in the south-west of Hungaria in 1912. The first designer was Árpád Dékáni (1861 - 1931) and Mária Markovits (1875 - 1954) was the best and one of the first makerin of this sort of lace. The design is drawn of a paper which come on a piece of tissu. Over both you put a piece of greasproof paper. Then with a thicker thread you made the outlines of the design and after that with another thread and various stiches the design. The motives are made with a sort of "darn" stitch so it become very dense and this "clear" look. There are more than 60 different stiches in use. In the last report I tell you about Lorenzen's Gard and a bit about danske lace tradition but perhaps only in a few days. Hope i didn't bore you.

[lace] Riddle not rhyme
As Jean said, don't forget you will need the person (not necessarily male!) who is the "I" in the rhyme. Also, please remember this was originally a riddle, not a nursery rhyme, the question being, "Kits, cats, sacks, and wives, How many were there going to St Ives?" The two solutions (depending on how the question is read) being either ONE, ie the person telling the rhyme, or NONE ie the questioner means "How many of kits, cats etc are going to St Ives". The trick obviously is that the recipient will do the lengthy mental arithmetic of 7 times table and additions. S, if you put a signpost in, make sure it faces the right way.
