[lace] Tatting help needed again
Hi Some weeks ago I asked for some advice about tatting books, as I wanted to try tatting again. I had some really helpful answers, I wrote them on a piece of paper intending to order my chosen book when I came back from holiday. Big mistake, I find I've deleted the emails and can't find the piece of paper! So I'm afraid I have to ask you all again about suggestions for good tatting books for a beginner. I've found some good websites (Ring of Tatters, Jane Eborall and Tatman) but would like a good 'how to do it' book. And also suggestions for good tatting thread. Our local needlecraft shop doesn't seem to stock the Coats cottons I was using before.

Re: [lace] Tatting help needed again
Hi Alison, If the emails were sent to the Lace list, you can find them on the Lace archive:http://www.mail-archive.com/lace@arachne.com/ If they were sent to you personally, then you'll have to wait for people to email you again.

Tatting Techniques by Elgiva Nicholls, http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tatting-techniques-Old-revivals-experiments/dp/068414591X For tatting you need a smooth, firmly twisted thread round. The six ply crochet threads are ideal - DMC Cordonnet, Special Dentelles, Coats crochet, Lizbeth etc. Generally the more plies the better it will be as more plies make for a rounder, less squashable thread. 2 ply cotton perle can be used but will be more difficult if you need to unpick anything!

[lace] drawing with svg editor
Hello spiders Sorry for cross-posting, but for those not on the IOLOI forum I'd like to announce the result of my research about drawing thread diagrams with InkScape. It is especially about generating variations on grounds. You can find the result via http://kantelier.wordpress.com Reviews and other comment are welcome.
