[lace] Re: woollen lace (long)
practical hints on how to go about it today. It aims at Torchon-style work using double knitting wool (the UK term for what I think is called worsted yarn in the US) and suggests how to make the prickings and at what scale, and what bobbins and pillows to use or improvise. Worsted weight yarn is thicker than the UK double knitting. In North America UK double knitting is referred to as sportsweight.. Just my two-bits worth.

[lace] tatting query
Looks to me to be all tatted. Valda, in foggy Nova Scotia, Canada [EMAIL PROTECTED] There is a Tatted Bedspread on eBay. I recognize the rings and picots of normal tatting, but each section has a wide row of stitches that I don't recognize. It this all tatted? Or has there been a row of crochet added around each section? http://cgi.ebay.com/EXQUISITE-GENUINE-HANDMADE-TATTING-lace-white-bedspread_W0QQitemZ8246107778 Item 8246107778 if the URL doesn't work for you. Thanks. Alice in Oregon -- 2 of rain yesterday, and more coming. Wish I could send it to Texas/Oklahoma where the fires are.

Re: [lace] Stool for very little lacemakers on ebay
or they just rested their feet on it with the pillow in their lap ... by the way , what makes it a lacemaker's stool ? and how can one say it dates back to george III ? puzzled dominique from paris I was wondering the same thing. To me it looks like the stools I used to sit on when I milked the cows, back in my youth.

[lace-chat] Summer Reading
Two of my favourite books for light summer reading are Mama's Bank Account by Kathryn Forbes, and Mrs. 'Arris goes to Paris, by Paul Gallico. I have read each of them several times and never get tired of them. I also love reading biographies of movie stars. At the moment am reading a biography of Claire Bloom. And speaking of movie stars my very favourite male stars are Danny Kaye - for his humour; Jimmy Stewart for his voice and seemingly nonchalant acting, and Sidney Poitier for his charming looks and excellent acting, I particularly loved him in To Sir with Love.
