[lace] Re: Needle tatting question
Janice, I am not much of a needle tatter, but do know that most patterns that are designed for two shuttles, the needle tatter has the advantage that they don't need two needles. ;) You use the same needle. Say for instance you have a simple ring and chain pattern with a ring thrown off the chain. Here is a pattern: Ring: 3-3-3-3, RW Chain: 3-3[Ring: 3-3-3-3]3-3, RW Ring: 3-3-3-3, RW And so on. When starting the chain with 3 ds, picot, 3 ds, he would slide the stitches off the needle as if to finish the chain. Do not reverse work. The part in the brackets is where he would start the ring to be thrown off. Close ring. Make the other half of the chain of 3ds, picot, 3ds and finish chain and tighten stitches so the chain with the ring on top makes a nice arc. Hope this is clear explanation.

[lace] Tamworth (UK) Lace Day
Having just proof read April's Lace, it suddenly dawned on me that having a baby (granddaughter) in the house makes you forget things - like getting the details of this year's lace day to Deborah in time for it to be included in the magazine! Eeeks! So, for anyone likely to be in the UK on Saturday June 2nd, these are the details: Date and time: Saturday June 2nd, 10am-4pm Venue: Shuttington & Alvecote Village Hall, near Tamworth - same place as last year and the year before. Suppliers: Makit (general lace & embroidery supplies), Chris Parsons (bobbins) and Tatting & Design (tatting supplies). Optional Workshops: "Learn Tatting" with Rosemarie Peel (morning) and Tatting with Lyn Morton (afternoon). Tickets: £3.50 if I receive your request and payment by 25th May, £4.00 after that date. There will be a small extra charge for the workshops, payable on the day. Workshop details will be sent with tickets. Proceeds: to St Giles Hospice. Although the workshops are both for tatters, all lacemakers are welcome - bring your pillows, needles, hooks or whatever. There is plenty of parking space, and there will probably be whippet racing on the field outside during the afternoon - it has happened the last two years. You will need to bring a packed lunch; drinks will be available. If you are interested, email me and I'll let you have the address to send to. -- Jane Partridge - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[lace] Arachne pin - UK
Malvary and I got ours from Roseground Lace Supplies, I think at the Bristol Lace Guild AGM which is a couple of years ago. At that time she had maybe two or three left, but I did tell some other members she had them so they may all be gone. It would be worth a phone call or e-mail to find out.

[lace] Beginner bobbins for lace class
Just read the rest of Robin's post: wood midlands that they can spangle themselves. SOme people have used nails for bobbins, but the wood or plastic are definitely superior.> Or there are the home-made paper ones on Lori' lacefair page: http://bobbins.lacefairy.com/Cher2.html and a different style and method of making on Brenda's page: http://paternoster.orpheusweb.co.uk/lace/paperbobbin/paperbobbin.html Jean in Poole, Dorset, UK - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
