[lace] Two questions
Hello All, I wonder whether any of you can help me with some information. Since October 2010, I have been attending the University of Malta to work towards a Diploma in Lace Studies and am now in the final steps. I do very much want to carry on with a Bachelors' Degree in this subject, but am beginning to think that I may not be able to take it in Malta for various reasons. Does anybody out there know whether courses are held anywhere else in the world, possibly by distance learning as well? I need to buy some fan sticks for a piece of lace I've made and recently someone in Arachne (I believe) mentioned this site. Can anyone translate the German measurement descriptions on the following linked page for me please? http://langendorfkloeppel.de/en/fans.html Thanks, Karen in Malta.

Re: [lace] Two Questions ...
1) Has anyone made the lace heart in Bridget Cook's Weddings, Christenings Anniversaries in Lace book? I worked two of these hearts (cover picture) in the working diagram size in Madeira Metallic no. 40 colour gold 7 - then intertwined them to make a card for my parents Golden Wedding. Their eyesight is no longer wonderful, so I thought the larger size would be better. 2) Could someone in the know please advise which week(s) would be best to avoid? Half-term is usually somewhere in the last two weeks of October, but varies from school to school. I have never known it to be earlier than that, so the first half of October would be best for you. UK does not have any Bank (public) holidays in October.

Hello Helen 1) Has anyone made the lace heart in Bridget Cook's Weddings, Christenings Anniversaries in Lace book? I am interested to know what size thread would be a good choice if making the heart using the working diagram (i.e. the bigger diagram) instead of the actual pricking. I would appreciate suggestions please as I really don't have the energy or enthusiasm just now to do lots of experiments for myself. I don't have the book (even though there's one of my patterns in it!) but the table on http://paternoster.orpheusweb.co.uk/lace/threadsize/threadsize.html should help you to to gauge which size thread to use for the bigger pricking. 2) I am hoping to visit London in October for a few days. Since I will be doing the usual touristy stuff and I prefer quiet and space, I am keen not to get caught up in hoardes of children on half-term holidays. Could someone in the know please advise which week(s) would be best to avoid? It is quite a while since I was at school myself ...
