Re: [lace] Spanish lace in You Tube
What is that woman doing at 5 mins 25 sec into the video. It seems to me that she was about to hang in a new pair and is smoothing the thread, or covering it with something. Hello David, She is winding a bobbin. Here we use this system of winding, with the help of the thread we are using, when we are going to add just one or a few bobbins When we have to wind many bobbins, we use the bobbin winder. But the way you see on the video is much quicker. I think Carolina has some explanations on how to wind this way in her web site. http://www.geocities.com/carolgallego What is very peculiar is the spool on the right... where the skein is put. On the video they say that it is made of cane.

Brilliant - well worth a watch. Thank you Andrea Lamble in a bright but chilly Cambridge, UK.

It can be seen how at that time, lacemaking was yet a way of life for many ladies in Arenys de Munt, how the girls went to lace school and worked open air at the home doors altogether with expert all ages lacemakers . The video show the speed and skillfulness they worked and work today Ret-Fi (similar to blonda), the traditional lace of this area. Also the full process of making lace, from the beginning: The pricking of patterns and later the drawing of repeats, and I would like to call your attention to the ancestral reed winder which they used to hold the thread as well as how they manually wound the bobbins.

Many greetings, from Antje, in Guadalajara, Spain The spool on the right is swift - used to hold a skein of thread / wool so that it can easily be wound into a ball.

Every action, even walking, was faster than normal. Yes, I agree they are very proficient lacemakers. Definitely faster than I normally work, that's for sure. My lace group has a Begian-trained member who works twice as fast as I do. I've seen her working. I'm sure these people are on a par with her speed, but it is not quite as fast as the film projected it. Carrying the pillows on the hip, as is, instead of bundling them, was very interesting. I would guess that the girls walked from home to the lace school, and the thread was strong enough that a little bouncing did not break it. I wonder what they do if it's raining. The one person I've actually seen working on a pillow like this was at an IOLI conference. She had a zipper bag that the pillow was put in for transporting. It was a very interesting video.

Hello all, Just to make some comments: Diane Williams wrote: And I love how they just prop their pillows on their hips and carry them around. This is just practice! David wrote What is that woman doing at 5 mins 25 sec into the video. Margot Walker wrote: I think she was winding the bobbins. I seem to remember reading somewhere about that method of winding them. I tried it but decided to stick with my trusty bobbin winder. Antje has explained very well this method and I can assure you that it is very useful. I agree with Margot that it is not easy at the beginning though it has the advantage of not needing any other tool to wind that your own hands and a thick thread.

Of course the old film has been converted to be seen on modern video devices, and the speed has been altered during conversion, whereas not so much as you think. I have seen at Lace Day Events in Arenys de Munt, today aged lacemakers (probably those that were a child on the film), work so quickly as shown on the video. On the other hand, as Clay says on a private mail she has sent me, there is a difference among working palms up or palms down, being the first method quickest, allowing you to take in left hand (I am right handed) 4 or six bobbins at a time when working wholestitch.However, I have to say that I do not work speedier as these ladies do!

[lace] speed of making lace
Hi everyone I have not seen the videos on Utube, will have to wait until I'm at a high speed connection. I believe that they can lace quickly though. Carolina wrote: there is a difference among working palms up or palms down, being the first method quickest, allowing you to take in left hand (I am right handed) 4 or six bobbins at a time when working wholestitch. and definitely, when working palms up with the open method the half-stitch (TC) goes more quickly than palms down, closed (CT). I have found that for some reason twisting the pairs simulataneously then crossing the middle two, is more direct than crossing the middle two bobbins, then twisting the pairs. In palms up, CTC can be reduced to a shuffling motion (like dealing cards). Double half-stitch is like two flicks of the wrist whereas when I'm working on a flat pillow, there are 4 definite steps. I find this aspect fascinating ;) -- Bev in Sooke BC (on Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada) Cdn. floral bobbins www.woodhavenbobbins.com blogging lace at www.looonglace.blogspot.com - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I simply toss a piece of a flannel backed plastic tablecloth over the top to keep the rain out. This is a trick my first teacher taught me. I still do secure down the bobbins with U-pins to keep them straight but don't usually bother to put it in a case unless I am going a long distance. In fact, I don't even have a case for my pillow. I just slip it into a large storage tub.

[lace] A New Twist on the Catalog Issue
Dear Spiders, I happened on a truly wonderful site that let's the user create a catalog of their books online. It's the newest thing on the block and wonderful. It proceeds from the idea that the publishers, ISBNs, Titles, Authors, etc for almost all books are accessible on the internet. So, you just name your book and it gets added to your personal catalog. A picture of the cover is provided, if available, and if not, you may provide your own. This is the basis of a community group arrangement, based on your books. I have already elicited a lurking lacemaker and have barely started. Up to 200 books are free to catalog, $10 for more than that or $25 for a permanent catalog. You may keep your list or any part of it as private as you wish. Http://www.Librarything.com I can spreadsheet, I can even data base, but I decline. This is wonderful.

[lace-chat] Maths
Maths Little Zachary was doing very bad in maths.His parents had tried everything. Tutors, Mentors, flash cards, Special learning centers. In short, everything they could think of to help his math. Finally, in a last ditch effort, they took Zachary down and enrolled him in the local Catholic school. After the first day, little Zachary came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn't even kiss his mother hello. Instead, he went straight to his room and started studying. Books and papers were spread out all over the room and little Zachary was hard at work. His mother was amazed. She called him down to dinner. To her shock, the minute he was done, he marched back to his room without a word, and in no time, he was back hitting the books as hard as before. This went on for some time, day after day, while the mother tried to understand what made all the difference. Finally, little Zachary brought home his report card. He quietly laid it on the table, went up to his room and hit the books. With great trepidation, his Mom looked at it and to her great surprise, Little Zachary got an A in maths. She could no longer hold her curiosity. She went to his room and said, Son, what was it? Was it the nuns? Little Zachary looked at her and shook his head, no. Well, then, she replied, Was it the books, the discipline, the structure, the uniforms? WHAT WAS IT ? Little Zachary looked at her and said, Well, on the first day of school when I saw that guy nailed to the plus sign, I knew they weren't fooling around.
