[lace] New website
Dear Arachnids My friend Jean has produced a web site for both of us at http://web.mac.com/jeanmaryeke. There is something about us, Lindfield Lacemakers and Designers and a free pattern that will be changed periodically. Jean has only had her computer, her first, for 2 months and I think she has done well. Can you open it? What do you think? Any suggestions? and can you download the pattern?

[lace] Milanese Braids
Hi De Hi Can you please tell me if it is possible to use a 14 braid pattern and change it to a 16 by adding the extra bobbins. I was thinking of bringing them in at the sides so instead of following the pattern by taking the worker through say the first 4 pairs I would then take it through the first 6 pairs. I hope I have explained it how I am thinking it.

Re: [lace] Milanese Braids
Easy to do if there are passive pairs at the edges, as you can just add an extra passive pair on each side. With 16 pairs instead of 14 total:- if there are 4 passive pairs on either side of a central pattern braid, you will now have 5 passive pairs on each side, not 6. You'll need to remember when reading any instructions how many extra pairs you have added and where. perhaps an annotated photocopy will help you get it right easily. If the pattern continues across the whole row, you will need to consider how many pairs there are in a repeat across the row, before deciding if you can add 2 pairs without causing confusion Which braid is it you are thinking of widening?

There's no change from the arrow to indicate that the pattern can be downloaded, but, as Shirley said, you can right click and copy and paste into Word or some of other suitable program. Alternatively you can right click and save the pricking and picture each as a .jpg file which can be opened in any graphics program. I like the site - it's nice and clear.

An interesting side story: Susan's teacher at Embroiderers' Guild USA will be Chris Berry of Glasgow. She teaches a City and Guilds embroidery course in UK, teaches internationally, is an international exhibitor, and author. She is currently Chairman of the Embroiderers' Guild of England. But, what is especially of note to me is that on my last trip to Scotland I learned she and our Jean Leader (former Chairman of The Lace Guild in UK) live in the same Glasgow neighborhood! Such concentrated talent, all in one small area! 2008 is EGA's 50th birthday; cause for celebration to all in the needlearts world.

Re: [lace] Honeycomb delight
My very favourite stitch is half-stitch. I like it that a few pairs can expand to fill a void, and condense at a narrow bit. I like to work it CT, or TC, of a piece and know that the appearance will be the same. I have other favourites, depending on what I'm working on. The star ground is lovely. I could share how to do star ground, if I would find the pattern I was using. When I look up close at honeycomb I always think of tapioca pudding in a nice way...(perhaps it is the frothy appearance) On Thu, Aug 28, 2008 at 8:00 AM, David in Ballarat [EMAIL PROTECTED]wrote: Dear Friends, Don't you just love doing Honeycomb stitch???

Re: [lace] honeycomb delight (or favorite stitches)
Hi Clay! I believe you come across them most often in Honiton lace; the more common name for them being Blossom fillings. At the point where 2 braids cross, you work 4 picots before continuing with the braids. It makes a frilly little crossing, and when an area is full of them, it is so sweet! In the Book of Bobbin Lace Stitches by Bridget Cook and Geraldine Stott, there is an adorable variation called the Torchon Apple Blossom stitch, so I imagine that's why I always call the blossom filling an Apple blossom filling :) Hope all is going well with your visit to your DD!

Hello Alex If Jean has really only been using a computer for a couple of months she's done fantastically well. There's substance to the site, not just a blog, the layout is clean and the hyperlinks all work. Well done. Re the pattern; as I could see no 'download' button and no hand appeared over the image my (mac) instinct was to click and drag it off to the desktop, which worked. Then I read the instuctions - so right clicked - save image as ad that works too. It printed out at the correct size. However, most people would expect to find some sort of download 'button'. Doesn't have to be a button as such just the word will do so long as it's hyperlinked directly to the image file - and include target=_blank in the html so that it doesn't close the main window.

Jean In one of my web walks I saw a photo of a tally aid - it was a elongated triangular piece of plastic with 4 slots in it, one at the rounded off pointed end and the other three evenly spaced over the opposite flat end. I am guessing the idea was to bring your 4 threads through the first slit, separate the threads so that one goes into each of the 3 slots held closest to you with the forth thread doing the weaving between. I have never got around to making one but it has stuck in my mind that it would be doable. What do you think?

[lace-chat] tapioca pudding and other desserts
for David and everyone I went through my mother's cookbook, a small binder of all her handwritten recipes, but she didn't write down her tapioca pudding recipe. I remember it was creamy white, creamy vanilla tasting, and fluffy, with the tapioca pearls floating in it (NOT in appearance like fish eggs, as some say about tapioca; they were more like bubbles). We always called the dish 'tapioca' and left off the 'pudding.' It was years later that I realized 'tapioca' is the name of the starch and is used for thickening in some cuisines. It was also some time before I knew that the British say 'pudding' for what we call 'dessert' (where we say what's for dessert...) When I was at uni., and they served tapioca in the cafeteria, it was disappointing glue-y glup to be avoided. I tried unsuccesfully to duplicate mother's pudding, from other recipes, but in any case no one in my own family cares for it. One individual gets sick if tapioca starch is in the food, so it is simpler to avoid it. Mom's recipe book did yield this one for rice pudding. Her recipes are cook's notes cryptic in that most only list the ingredients, you're supposed to know how to use them LOL. Her rice pudding was yummy, like the tapioca too ;) 1 cup water 1milk 1 egg 1/4 cup rice 1/3 cup sugar raisins and this one, called Gussie's Choc. Cake: Melt 2 sq. choc butter size of walnut cup sugar 1 1/2 cups flour 1 tsp b. soda 1/2 tsp. salt 1 cup milk Finally fold in 1 beaten egg. -- bye for now Bev in Shirley BC near Sooke on Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
