Barrie I agree with Brenda and Catherine. It looks like point de gaze needle lace, just from the style alone. We don't have enough detail to see individual threads.

Re: [lace] Help please.
Hi Julie It looks like Point de Gaze, but not detailed enough to be certain that itâs all needle lace with no bobbin fillings to make it mixed Brussels. A very nice piece of lace.

Could someone please tell me what sort of lace this is ? My friend was given this beautiful piece which is 7 1/2 inches wide x 62 inches long for her birthday and we do not know anything about it. Any information you could give us would be a great help thank you.

Hi Spiders All, I am hoping that you can help me! A lace-making friend was hit by the North Sea Surge in December last, and her house is till full of sand and sea-water, as well as other impossible things, but she - and others in the same situation - has had a great deal of help from the local publican, whose inn is called 'The Lighthouse'. As a small thank-you gesture, she would like to make him a small picture of a lighthouse, but so far none of us can find a pricking. So - if anyone can eMail me a pricking, or tell me where to source one, I would be cery grateful indeed. The other possibility is a pricking/pattern for a windmill - the sais could be the beams of the lamps, so if anyone has anything remotely suuitable, do please let me know. I know I can rely on you all, and thank you all very much indeed in advance.

RE: [lace] Help, Please!
Hi Carol I don't suppose that this is going to be much help to your friend but I'm sure that there is a pattern for a windmill in one of Veronica Sorensen's books. Definitely not the Bruges flower lace, but one of the others, I can't remember which and am at work at the moment so can't check. This windmill is 3D so it may not be of any help but I think it's based on the smock windmill in Upminster in what now passes for Greater London, but when I lived a few hundred yards from the mill in the 1960s/70s was part of Essex.

I have actually seen a bobbin lace pattern for a lighthouse, but cannot remember where or when. Possibly in a German publication or pattern. However, if you search for lace light house, some pictures of crocheted ones come up, and you may be able to convert these simple designs to a lace pattern in Torchon. Sorry, I am not much help.

[lace] Help please - Lace Society Issue 182
I am trying to make the torchon edging designed by Anita Wilkinson on page 11 of the Lace Society magazine. I've only been making lace since February and although I've managed to work out the stitches, I've got stuck. I have reached the end of one side and now need to turn the corner. The bit that's puzzled me is what to do with the extra row of pricking between the roseground and the corner fan, and the double row of pricking between the two areas of roseground. Unfortunately there's onlya photograph of one edge, not the corner. I could probably work something out that would look OK, but I'd like to know the correct way of working this corner and would be very grateful if any of my new-found Arachne friends could help.

I have just bought a pattern called Incy Wincy Spider. I bought it because it was advertised as being ideal for a first big project and thought it was a good idea. On getting the pattern I am only shown where to put the first two pairs of bobbins (there are 34 pairs altogether) and I am to add the pairs using support pins. What are support pins? Will it be obvious where to add in the pairs? If I manage this it will be my first piece not following instructions from a book so I was looking forward to giving it a go but now am not so sure.

Re: [lace] Help Please
Good luck with your Incy Wincy Spider, Nancy Support pins are pins set back a little way from the first row of stitches - you hang the pairs on support pins while you work the first pinhole(s) using those pairs, then take the support pins out and tension gently to get the threads neatly round the first real pins in the lace. How obvious it is where you need to add the pairs depends on the type of lace and the shape of the piece you're making (I haven't seen Incy Wincy Spider). A lot of torchon patterns start along either a single diagonal line or an inverted V shape - for those, as you move out/down from the start point you just add another pair at each pinhole (it's pretty obvious because you need the new pair to make the stitch round the pinhole). Hope that helps a little - if you've worked a similar shape/type lace before, have a look at the starting instructions from that and see if you can use those to help you identify where/how you need to bring in pairs for your new piece. It's always daunting starting your first new piece without instructions, but you'll learn loads from doing it.

Mouline is the same as Anchor or DMC stranded embroidery threads.

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.

Re: [lace] Help please
Hello Ann Yes, use the Bruges pivot pin method. The first time you work that pinhole in the usual way (by working through the last passive in cloth stitch, twist the workers and stick the pin). On the next and subsequent times you come to that pin work until the last pair of passives, twist the worker pair and wrap the worker pair behind the pin, over and under the passive pair and continue. The wraps of thread from the worker pair will stack up on the pin. As soon as you've finished that pinhole and got one or two more pins stuck remove the pivot pin and tension gently. The stack of threads should then all lie down close to each other. If you work with the footedge on the right, English fashion, you will wrap clockwise, if it's on the left, continental fashion, you will wrap anti-clockwise.

Dear Spiders, I am writing to ask for some help, I am trying to do roseground. I am working in Bobbin Lacemaking by Doris Southard, on page 153-154 there is a little coaster or doily, I have tried and tried and I can't get the roseground to work, can anyone help me. I am so spoiled about people sending me step by step ways to do things, Patty has been helping me but she has a new job, Rita also has sent me some things in the email, but I just can't make it work. Please, please can anyone help this hopeless lacemaker? I love this stuff so much and I think roseground is absolutely beautiful.

In message [EMAIL PROTECTED], Lynn Weasenforth [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes I can't get the roseground to work, can anyone help me. I haven't got Doris Southard's book, but in principle you work the top two corners first, these do not have pins. Then you work the four pin holes, top, two sides, bottom. Then to finish, the two bottom corners - again, no pins. The order of working is thus: a, b, 1, 2, 3, 4, c, d. a 1 b 2 3 c 4 d where a, b, c and d do not have pins, 1 2 3 and 4 do. The most frequent roseground I've come across has a cloth and twist at the corners and half stitch, pin, half stitch for the pinned stitches. (But you can combine any stitches - eg half stitch at the corners, Dieppe ground stitch at the pins, or even half stitch at the corners, then work a half stitch diamond at the pins - there are many variations.) If you have a bottom corner that is also top corner to the next square, you do not do a second corner stitch. I also find it helpful, as well as marking the diamond (the usual pattern marking for roseground), to mark in crosses at the corners, as these show which pin holes in the surrounding area your threads are coming from and going to - the cross-over is where the pin-less stitch sits. So it is marked: + . + ./ \. \ / + . + (I'm sure you can square that up, and extend the lines of the + to reach the relevant pinholes - it is easier to draw than type!) Note also that alternate squares are empty, so you do have big gaps between (my students always ask if that is correct!) - the roseground squares form a checkerboard effect. Remember that you have two pairs coming to a pin, and two pairs going out from it - you cannot have two coming in and three or four going out! (Obvious, but occasionally a trip up point!). Also, you cannot work roseground and turn a corner on the same line - you need two lines of roseground, one before the turn and the other after. -- Jane Partridge -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
