Re: [lace] Shawl finished
Hi The shawl is beautiful, even more beautiful when you see it in 'the flesh' so to speak She has made a very good job of it. Agnes brought it to my house on Thursday evening to show everyone it before she gives it to her daughter for Christmas.

Re: [lace] Shawl finished
I made myself a very large roller pillow to work large scale patterns on. I used a roll of the insulating stuff for putting underneath wallpaper, it's like a thin sheet of styrofoam. I think it was called Warmaline or something like that. It came from a DIY store. That was the roller and for the rest of the pillow I used three slabs of polystyrene glued together and hacked about with a carving knife. A job best done outside as the bits get everywhere!After that it was just a case of manipulating the cover fabric to fit. I have made several scarves, a sweater in strips and currently have a table runner on it and the roller is holding up well.

[lace] lace shawl
Hello All! Thank you Agnes for posting pics of your shawl! WOW--I'm sure your daughter will be thrilled!! Did you say this came in a kit? Would you be willing to share the name of the manufacturer and/or some detail on the amount of yarn required to make the pattern--yards/metres? Although I'm not fond of Torchon, it is a very effective technique in this scale. I recall I read somewhere that a scarf made in Torchon would use about 30% less yarn than a knitted one of similar size density. Would you believe, over time I've collected one skein of various yarns that are deliciously luxurious--one has hand tied/hand dyed silk ribbons interspaced on silk/wool blend-- way too expensive for me to make a sweater. After seeing your shawl my recent scarf experiment with Oliver Twist embellishment threads, Torchon may be the ticket. Thanks again for sharing.

[lace] Manos del Uruguay yarn plus Oya, Sajou (Le Puy) Estonian lace,
Hello All! After Agnes very kindly advised that the yarn she used is Manos del Uruguay, I Googled to see if it was available in the US. So far I haven't found the lace weight that she purchased from PollyJane (nice website) but I'll keep looking plus check with the knit shop in Jupiter. In the meantime, Purl Soho does carry some of their line. This is the knit shop that posted the directions for my previously mentioned crocheted urchins they have some other stuff that's worth a look: an Ondori book on Estonian lace, an Ondori book (waiting for shipment) on Turkish Oya cards of Sajou cotton lace trims. Staying on budget in the face of this sort of provocation is almost beyond me!! Blame it on Agnes!

Fwd: Re: [lace] Manos del Uruguay yarn plus Oya, Sajou (Le Puy) Estonian lace,
I just did a quick check of one of the websites where I buy my weaving yarn. I knew they carried Manos and they have the lace weight. Here's a link to the page for the lace weight Manos. I think I'm going to have to look at that yarn closer for weaving too. :-) http://www.yarn.com/webs-knitting-crochet-yarns-manos-del-uruguay/manos-del-uruguay-lace/ Vila Cox Warped Wonderfulhttp://www.warpedandwonderful.com https://twitter.com/warpedandwonder http://www.facebook.com/pages/Warped-Wonderful-Handwoven-Treasures/241360532566599 On 12/17/2011 9:40 AM, hottl...@neo.rr.com wrote: Hello All!

I hadn't thought about that, and yes there could be problems if e-mail is delivered right to one's computer via the mail browser.

RE: [lace] webshots
Hi All, I don't know about anyone else, but I am finding that Internet Explorer is causing me a lot of problems: screens not completely visible, links don't work and the program locks up intermittently to the point where I must be constantly restarting. I switched to Mozilla Firefox as my internet browser and I am so much happier. Web shots is also so much happier and more cooperative. I recommend others try it.

Re: [lace] webshots
When I installed Firefox I then got a gmail address. It is great for managing many (lace) e-mail messages. I have other e-mail at the mail program Thunderbird. Both programs are free to download. I like the filtering on both.

[lace] Website for the 2011 Arachne Card Exchange is now open
Hi everyone Thanks must go to Amber for coordinating this years card exchange! Well done Amber. As you know, we have asked you all to scan and forward a picture of your exchange cards so that they can be placed online for all to enjoy. If you have not already done so (I am short approx 30 scans) then please ask your partner to scan or photograph your work and forward them on to me for inclusing. This year I had not stressed that it would be interesting to see details about the work and so there is less there but perhaps those who can remember the particulars of their work will forward a bit for me to include. Generally it is things like, the pattern origin, thread used etc. The 2011 Arachne Card Exchange website is now open for your viewing and I would like to ask you to take the time to read the short history of the Arachne exchanges provided by Alice at http://www.brandis.com.au/arachne/2006/index.html It is well worth the wander around the different years as there is so much there to see. In the meantime, take a look at http://www.brandis.com.au/arachne/ and enjoy this touch of the festive season, no matter where you are. hugs Jenny Brandis Kununurra, Western Australia je...@brandis.com.au www.brandis.com.au - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
