Hello everybody! I am having loads of trouble with my computer and can only get online once a day, if I am lucky. 'They' say it could be weeks before it is sorted out properly. However, I am still intending to participate in Secret Pal etc, but please don't be worried if I can't post things online as quickly as I should. If anyone needs me my telephone number is 01594 510519 (UK). If I have real problems, I will try to get in touch with Brenda by phone. Thank you.

Er, sort of. If someone were to decide to post in Ugaritic or Swahili, there's nothing anyone could do to prevent it, except to unsubscribe that person after the fact. We can't *force* someone to write in English in advance! But we do prefer that you post in English. As for fees, there isn't a licensing fee. Liz is a sys admin at panix.com. She set up Arachne and configured the permissions, but once it's up and running it doesn't cost anything (except time) to keep it going. No organization collects fees for allowing you to run an e-mail list. You could buy a server (these days it looks like an ordinary PC), install list software, configure your own list, connect to the Internet, and -- voila -- you are a list owner. When I was at the Hebrew University I was the owner of the longest continuously running Jewish studies list. There weren't many lists in those days because you had to have access to a computer system that could be secured (i.e., someone couldn't come in and switch it off or change things), you had to be able to install majordomo, and to know the commands to set up the list. Now it's very easy to set up and maintain lists because organizations like Yahoogroups do all the background work and maintenance. They've made the server commands very easy with a Web interface (no more typing terse list commands and sending them to an anonymous server). Yahoogroups doesn't charge for lists either. They just subject you to advertisements unless you choose the 'paid' version, because they're in the business to make money.

RE: [lace] membership
The short answer is "No, not easily." Obviously, just about everything a computer does is time-stamped somewhere and if I had access to the server logs and the time to search back several years I could probably find out when you subscribed. But since I'm a moderator, not a system admin, and only have access to the usual range of majordomo commands, I can't find out when you signed on. If we had a complete set of archives somewhere that would make the job easier, but we don't.

[lace] using coloured threads for Bucks
Hi everyone If you can't get the WHall threads, Mettler 60/2 is reasonably 'fine' (the term is relative - quite fine for machine sewing, fine enough for Buckspoint ) - and comes in many colours. The best way to use mulitple colours in Bucks, and avoid random crisscrossing or too much thread fiddling - do honeycomb sts rather than the diagonal ground. Go here to see a nice picture: http://home.metroweb.co.za/~cooke/whatnow.htm and if you can obtain a copy of Colour: What Now, for more info on colour in Buckspoint, so much the better ;) For thread junkies, if all you have to work with are the Heirloom threads from YLI, a tip I just learned from Jeri on a somewhat unrelated thread topic (rayon I think, yes?) - run the thread through a damp cloth before winding onto the bobbin (allow a minute for it to dry, maybe do this on a dry - as in weather - day). One pass removes most of the starch! Actually I haven't tried this with YLI, but I did experiment with a stiff variegated thread for serging, voila the stiffness disappeared and I had a pleasantly pliable strand for lace :)) -- bye for now Bev in Sooke, BC (on Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada) Cdn. floral bobbins www.woodhavenbobbins.com - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Well, how was I supposed to know that one didn't address the Majordomo as "Dear Sir"?) But, within 6 months, I was no longer #56 on the list; I changed providers and e-address, unsubscribed the old one and subscribed the new and, abracadabra, there I was, somewhere in the middle hundreds... Re: first Anniversary Commemoratives... Some of us might not have felt - at the time - that the ones coming out of UK and painted by Margaret Wall were as "legitimate" as the ones done by JoAnne Pruitt in the US, but '96 was, indeed, the year in which *two* Commemorative bobbin styles were available (which is why I got both; "belt and suspenders" being safer ). Afterwards, we only had one "true" one, because the maker, design, etc no longer went through the "committee of 200" (yes, that's about all the membership there was at that 1st anniversary ). JoAnne took charge, did all the negotiations, and made sure that all who wanted to make them got a chance to bid, and that the best bid would win - take it or leave it, that design and maker was *it* for that year. Much easier all around :) The "special occasion" bone bobbin that Clay mentioned was, I think, an Archer one, for "Arachne '98" gathering in Nottingham, UK. Like the 1st Anniversary Commemorative, it was also commissioned by Pat Hallam, who organised the whole adventure. Those were the days...

RE: [lace] Re: fine coloured thread
I also do not recommend YLI Heirloom thread for lacemaking. I have tried it, and learned that it is cotton, "glazed" with a stiff starch which makes it unfriendly to bobbin-lace. It did not cooperate with being hitched on a bobbin - double or otherwise - and because it is so firm, it did not "marry" its neighbors, resulting in a gauge which was not consistent with its purported size. On the other hand, fellow guild-mates who do heirloom sewing swear by it for that purpose, so it's a case of using it for the purpose for which it was designed!!

Re: [lace] membership
At one time, there was a means of finding out who belonged to the list by sending a query to Majordomo. For some reason (security, as I recall...) that may not be available. And if I'm not mistaken, the list was chronological. So if you found yourself on the list, you could determine when you joined by figuring out when the people above and below you joined the list. My guess is that the queries are still possible, but may be restricted to our list moderator, Avital?

Re: [lace] fine coloured thread
Hello Angela Try a patchwork/quilting shop for YLI heirloom sewing 70/2 or 100/2. I think they come in colours, but I don't know how big the colour ranges are. Other than that Pipers silks do colours in their ranges - you are probably looking at spun silk 210/2 or twisted silk 4/20 How are you planning to use colour in Bucks point, other than for the gimps? All the half stitch in point ground makes it virtually impossible to control where the colours go - unless you are aiming for a random effest.

[lace] Re ten-stick again
Dear Helen, Whenever possible, I would plan to finish a ten stick by sewing it to a previously completed section of ten stick. Where this is not possible, you could try throwing back a passive pair (next to the foot edge) in a couple of rows towards the end. Work to end, tie off all pairs. Cross two outer pairs beneath all threads and tie (reef knot and a half) above. The bundle can then be laid flat against the braid, and the pairs previously thron back tied to hold it in place. I would try a sample first, to see if it works, but certainly in Honiton this is a finish for ending a braid at a point. I see no reason why it cannot be adapted to ten stick, though it might work better with a rib which has more pairs rather than fewer.
