[lace] Arachne v. Facebook
When I first joined Arachne there were more posts than my email box could cope with so I went on to digest. Now there are so few I have to keep checking that I’m not missing any.

[lace] Re Devon Thein
Devon wrote I always try to put something personally identifying in emails, especially if they are directed toward people that I don't communicate with on a daily basis. Devon I wonder why it’s only me getting these emails. I am addressed as Dear Ann which sounds personal.

[lace] Teachers or no Teachers
I’ve never had a lace teacher. I’ve learned from books and videos. Will my lace not be as good as those who have had teachers. What are the secrets that lace teachers pass onto their pupils?

[lace] Re Lace and Maths
I am finding this topic very interesting. I have been maths challenged all my life. Numbers make no sense to me. Only verbal explanations or the written word. I am a mainly self taught lacemaker. I did go to a lace tutor who told me I would never be a lacemaker if I couldnât follow a working diagram and insisted I work only that way. I could not understand and it caused such anxiety I gave up. Some years later I was given some Christine Springett videos which all made sense to me listening and watching and working at the same time. I still work only patterns I can understand or from books with written instructions. Perhaps it is that an ability to understand lacemaking needs an understanding of maths. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

What a wonderful source of information the arachne archives are.

Thank you very much to those of you who have helped me with my lace query, especially Susie, Brenda and Jacquie who sent me very detailed instructions which will be of enormous help.

[lace] Help please
I am working a piece of lace that on a corner needs one of the inner pins to be worked into at least six or seven times. As this is more times than I would normally use one pin hole does anyone know of a neat way of doing this to avoid bulkiness or holes.

[lace] Re Help please
Hi What lace are you working? Torchon, Russian braid? It would be helpful and then perhaps we can all come up with an answer for you! Pat The lace is a wholestitch braid which at the corner turns to halfstitch braid and reverts back to wholestitch at the next corner.

[lace] Fan Making
I have made a number of fans using fan sticks taken from inexpensive fans bought in tourist shops especially in Spain. Whilst they are only plastic or cheap wood they do look nice when made up with your own lace and you can always move onto better quality fan sticks when you become more experienced in fan making.

[lace] New Member
Hello my name is Ann and I am pleased to have eventually got to join the group thanks to Sue and Avital for their efforts. I live in Yorkshire in the North of England with my husband. I have two beautiful grandchildren and another on the way next spring. They all live quite close to me so I am very much a hands on Nana which I love but life is usually very hectic and tiring, not complaining though.. I have been lacemaking for about six years and have tried different types but my favourites are Honiton and Bedfordshire. I had intended to learn Bucks Point this year but as it is now August and I still have a couple of projects on my pillows I need to finish before starting with my Christmas lace I think this will have to be deferred until next year. I do know some of you from other lists and I am looking forward to getting to know a lot more of you.
