RE: [lace] tatting ytube
Hi, I've recently been teaching myself to tat. I did find some videos on YouTube but didn't find them much help as I'm (very) left handed could not muster the co-ordination to work right-handed. Finally managed to find someone right-handed to show me how its done and worked out from that what I would need to do to work left-handed - found using 2 colours and thick thread was a great help and then it's down to practice, practice, practice to get the transfer and the tension right.

[lace] Message for Miriam
I'm sorry to post this to the list, but I do need to get a message through to Miriam I have received both your emails, Miriam, and I did reply straight away. I've forwarded you another copy of my reply - hopefully one of them will get through to you. I've been having a lot of trouble with my email system - one message recently took one month to arrive!

[lace] 'sG virgin ground
Hello All! The virgin ground that I use is on pg8, Go With The Flow by Marjorie Preece. The diagonal half stitch results in a charming ground of little buds. Being a newbie, I'm not sure, but it seems quite different from the rose ground (??) that I've worked. As in embroidery, so many techniques, so many stitches, so little time!

Re: [lace] tatting ytube
Hi All Went onto the site that Lenore suggested. Unfortunately it needs plugins that my mac does not support Andrea, it's a shame you don't live closer to East Yorkshire, I'd help you learn I'm 'totally' left handed too!! The only things I do right handed are knitting and using a knife and fork!! I can remember it took ages for me to learn via a book and a mirror! I learned to crochet by sitting opposite my aunt and then taught myself. Good luck! Sue in EY On 12 Aug 2008, at 12:23, Andrea Lamble wrote: Hi, I've recently been teaching myself to tat.

Re: [lace] 'sG virgin ground
Well, yes, the virgin ground *is* very different from the diagonal half stitch. Diagonal half stitch in s'G is still half stitch... it's just that the way the pairs are added to the trail and taken out that give it the distinctive look of s'G. The ground stitch which has been the subject of this thread is made with CTT-pin-CTT (or... if you learned the other way, TCC-pin-TCC). And it looks like rose ground or virgin ground or s'G ground... the difference is in the name, not the way the ground is made (although there are many, many variations of this ground regardless of what type lace you're making!).

Re: [lace] tudor rose or english rose / thanks
There is a tudor rose in Pat Perryman Cynthia Voysey's New Designs in Honiton Lace - it's quite a simple pattern, I'm definitely a beginner at honiton and I made it without much difficulty. My hardback copy of the book is dated 1984, so it may well be out of print, but perhaps your friend could borrow it from somewhere or find a second-hand copy?

RE: [lace] Newsletter
It may depend on state law. In Massachusetts, I once had a $17.80 purchase (debit card) turn into a $178.00 purchase. It took me a year and a half to straighten it out. The Office of Consumer Affairs of the Attorney General's office advised me to use the debit card as a credit card, as my liability would then be limited to $50 in any case. But since merchants have to pay a fee if you use your debit card as a credit card, they are less welcoming to that use. You have to specify that you want to use it as a credit card. As Lori mentioned, the purchase goes through immediately and is posted to the account -- the same way as a debit card. However, I have that extra protection against fraudulent use. Of course, this is just one state. I believe that laws in the UK are less consumer-friendly, and I guard my Barclay's card with my life. Worth checking into.

And canceling the debit card does not cancel the account it is linked to. We have 'debit cards' with numbers just like a credit card. One gives the vendor the debit card number not the bank account number. The card is used just like a credit card but you are not giving the vendor your checking account number.

I don't have that booklet, so can't say what it's like but the earlier booklet (which I do have), which had the first four flowers in a bookmark format is lovely.

[lace-chat] Handy Hints
Thought you'd appreciate these hints Sue Before attempting to remove stubborn stains from a garment, always circle the stain in permanent pen, so that when you remove the garment from the washing machine you can easily locate the area of the stain and check that it has gone. Don't waste money buying expensive binoculars. Simply stand next to the object you wish to view. Always poo at work. Not only will you save money on toilet paper, but you'll also be getting paid for it. Recreate the fun of a visit to a public swimming pool in your home by filling the bath with cold water, adding two bottles of bleach,then urinating into it, before jumping in. Anorexics. When your knees become fatter than your legs, start eating cake again. An empty aluminium cigar tube filled with angry wasps makes an inexpensive vibrator. Olympic athletes. Disguise the fact that you've taken steroids by running a bit slower. Smokers. Save on matches and lighters, by simply lighting your next fag from the butt of your last one. Vegetarians coming to dinner? Simply serve them a nice bit of steak or veal. Since they're always going on about how tofu, Quorn, meat substitute etc 'tastes exactly like the real thing', they won't know the difference. Invited by vegetarians for dinner? Point out that since you'd no doubt be made aware of their special dietary requirements, tell them about yours, and ask for a nice steak. High blood pressure sufferers. Simply cut yourself and bleed for a while, thus reducing the pressure in your veins. Heavy smokers. Don't throw away those filters from the end of your cigarettes. Save them up and within a few years you'll have enough to insulate your roof. Corsa drivers. Attach a lighted sparkler to the roof of your car before starting a long journey. You drive the things like dodgems anyway, so it may as well look like one. A mouse trap placed on top on of your alarm clock will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep Fool next door into thinking you have more stairs than them by banging your feet twice on each stair. At supermarket checkouts a Toblerone box makes a handy 'Next customer Please' sign for dyslexic shoppers. Girls. Don't worry about a nice dress for that important first date. All he's interested in is seeing you starkers. Putting just the right amount of gin in your goldfish bowl makes the fishes'eyes bulge and cause them to swim in an amusing manner. AVOID parking tickets by leaving your windscreen wipers turned to 'fast wipe' whenever you leave your car parked illegally. HOUSEWIVES. I find the best way to get two bottles of washing-up liquid for the price of one is by putting one in your shopping trolley and the other in your coat pocket. DON'T INVITE DRUG ADDICTS round for a meal on Boxing Day. They may find the offer of cold turkey embarrassing or offensive To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
