[lace] crowbar
In the supply lists for classes at the kantcentrum, several of them included the item 'crowbar'. Pleasedoes anyone know what tool is meant? It's not a pin lifter because that was mentioned separately.

Re: [lace] crowbar again
I just googled Koevoetje, picked a web site with the heading www.mot.be | koevoetje (syn.)- and asked it to translate. It came up with a drawing of what looks to me like a big pin or nail lifter. I asked for a better translation got the word the word spijkerlichter (m).

Sr. Claire wrote: I've heard of a lazy Susan, but what is it as a lace tool? It's a needle (often bent) in a handle or pin vice. The pointed end of the needle goes into the handle or pin vice, so that the eye of the needle is sticking out. You thread the eye with a longish piece of thread. When doing sewings (joining stitches or the beginning to the end of a piece of lace) you remove the pin from one stitch loop on one of the pieces to be joined and push the eye through the loop. Pull the thread up to make a loop, without it coming out of the eye. Pass one bobbin through the cotton loop. Hold on tight and pull it back through the stitch where you removed the pin so that a loop is made in the thread of that bobbin and then pass the second bobbin through the loop before tying off the threads. It's the same as using a crochet hook to do sewings, but the thread can't slip off, and you can't catch fibres from other threads, as I always do when using a crochet hook or the crochet hook-like that Tim Parker (now Claire's Lace) sold..

Re: [lace] crowbar
Hello, I have queried this with the Kantcentrum, and thought they had changed it on all the applicable courses - sorry I missed some. They list a pin lifter, and a pin pusher - this is the 'crowbar', but I guess if you had a multi-purpose tool, that will do. Which course are you going to?? I'm there for Binche 4, July 14th to 25th. If you are there on this second week, do note that the Monday, 21st July, is a national holiday, with no classes. Cheers, Milada in sunny Somerset But be warned - here and Belgium is not generally very warm, and you will need some warmer clothing, as well as waterproofs. - Original Message - From: Alice Howell [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: lace@arachne.com Sent: Saturday, June 14, 2008 7:24 AM Subject: [lace] crowbar In the supply lists for classes at the kantcentrum, several of them included the item 'crowbar'.

Re: [lace] crowbar
Thanks Jean. I've just been using a crochet hook. I'm used to it, guess I'll keep on with it. Nice to know, though. Thank you.

[lace] Honiton/ Milanese
Hi All Thanks for all the advice I will now not be so frightened of Honiton. I know this might sound stupid but I do get a fear( I think fear is too strong a word but can't think of the word I want at the moment) of doing certain things at first it was sewing then adding a new thread when one breaks but with each piece of lace I do I learn a new technique so it is never boring and these things that I thought I would never be able to do are so simple that I feel silly for fearing them. I hope to get some lace done today we are decorating the bedroom and my dear other half has put me up new worktops etc for my lace and crafts I now have 6 foot of lovely worktop, later on he is putting up some shelves and then my workspace is complete and I can get working in there. the shelves he is putting up is actually made up form a chest of drawers turning upside down so I will have the deepth of shelves for my spare pillows etc. But while he is in there I haven't been able to get any lace done and I am now starting to get withdrawl symptoms.

[lace] threads for Milanese.
Hi Thanks for the useful advice about thread thickness. AS we are not all made of money we can't always get the right one so it is good to know about substitutes. I am also working on the Humming Bird that Sue is and I am using Catona 80 and feel that maybe that is too thin. What a pity we can't have the thread half way between Sue's and mine. _ - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[lace] Lacemakers map out of order?
The last three weeks there were no new entries on the lacemakers map. It has never been so quiet while it never has been so busy the weeks before, so somehow I fear it is broken.

I've asked Lori three times to remove me from the map, but I'm still there out on the old gas works site.

[lace] crowbar - thanks
Thanks for the translation help. A pinlifter was the only tool I could think of that was remotely shaped like a crowbar but it was also listed. (Crowbar is a heavy, iron tool for removing nails and taking things apart. One end often has a 'forked tongue' split area to pull nails out of things.) No, I'm not taking a class at Kantcentrumjust dreaming, and browsing through the class lists to see if a class would be going on when I'm visiting. I'll just have to enjoy looking at everything.

[lace-chat] Locomotives (steam)
There's a steam railway in Dorset at Swanage. It's only a few miles long, but it attracts huge numbers of visitors each year. The trip out and back on it is about an hour. If they were allowed to do it, it could be connected to the main lines that go all over the country. It's run by volunteers. There are other volunteer groups around the country who restore and run steam trains with the old-style carriages. Means anyone who wants to can fulfil their childhood dream by joining one of these groups and become an engine driver.

Re: [lace-chat] Locomotives (steam)
As long as we're venturing from adjectives as nouns into steam locomotives (locomotors? vbg), I'll have to put my two cents in. When I lived in South Florida, I was quite active with the Gold Coast Railroad, which operated several locomotives, including a steamer. For about five years I operated a 4-6-2 light Pacific oil-burning steam engine from 1913 for our weekend runabouts on the property. I enjoyed it immensely and in due time got quite accustomed to the 120-degree heat in the engine cab in the middle of August. The 95-degree warmth outside absolutely felt like air-conditioning when you stepped down from the cab. I also had the joy of being part of history: The museum owns and maintains the U.S. Presidential Pullman, the Ferdinand Magellan. In 1990, the Pentagon requested use of the car in Ogdensburg, New York for the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Ogdensburg Agreement. This is the joint US/Canadian defence agreement. The agreement was signed on a sister car to the Magellan, however, that car was no longer roadworthy. Of the seven cars in the original fleet, only two remained: the Magellan and one sister. It was also appropriate that U.S. No. 1 be the car used for this auspicious occasion. Since the car must be attended at all times if out on an exhibition tour, three of us got to live aboard this armoured fortress for a month while it went from Miami to upstate New York and back. Of course, we slept in the crews quarters and in Stateroom A. Staterooms B C were *absolutely* off limits, though we did use the connecting shower, as we weren't able to get the one in the crew quarters to work right. (Hadn't been used since Kennedy administration.) The only real workout was in NY, when the air pressure in the water tank had run out, and I got to manually pump it up again for about an hour. (Imagine pumping an over-sized bicycle pump for an hour!)

Re: [lace-chat] Locomotives (steam)
All this talk about locomotives reminded me that we have a railway museum near Rockford. http://www.irm.org/ The Illinois Railway Museum is the largest in the U.S. according to Wickipedia so it would be a good outing for anyone coming to convention if they have train interests. I have never been although I drive through the town every week on my way to lace guild. I have only been to the Historical Museum for special events. Real small town entertainment.
