July's Lace arrived today, and obviously I most
enjoyed the picture of ME holding (someone else's, I'm
afraid) knitted table cloth.
Fortunately, there are other things for those who
prefer the aesthetically pleasing!
In addition, the Chairman's letter does give the Lace
Guild's general policy on
i was reading up on handspun sewing thread and it suggests to run it
through bees wax before they start their sewing. does any one think it
would have a bad affect to run the lace thread through the wax? it
might stop the unwinding and unrolling of the thread.

this is a nice website for making netting. they use a wierd needle
that does the same job as a tatting shuttle. net making would be a
nice use for a shuttle. i don't know how much thread a shuttle will
hold, but this needle holds quite a few rounds.

I do both netting and tatting. A netting needle doesn't hold nearly as much as a
tatting shuttle. You can't fill a netting shuttle too full because then it won't
go through the holes of the netting or it will stretch the holes while you're
forming the knots. Netting needles only hold a couple
thanks. now i have a brand name to look for next time i shop for

i think it would be good on practice patterns. something you plan to
take apart a few or more times would benefit from it. i wonder if it
leaves gaps in the lace when it wears off and loosens the thread. it
should keep the thread cleaner too. i am pretty sure they sell it like
that, unless my
that is something to think about when making your own tatting shuttle.
i will have to buy a netting needle to get a better look at it. a thin
dowel wrapped in thread would do the trick. dowels come in very thin
sizes. it would also save adding on a new thread in the middle of
netting. knots

here are netting needles in just about every size color and shape. i
wonder if the norwegian style works with small lace net making. the
advertisement says this style holds more thread.

that would probably work like you said, but i will try it for one
project and see how bad it does. it isn't the problem with it slipping
out of stitch while the piece is still being worked. it is the
loosening of the stitches once the wax has faded that i am worried
about. once the lace is

They're for shopping bags, tennis ball holders, basketball hoop nets, lobster
