Measure the width of the lace. That's X.

Each side must have Y + 2X length of lace.

I so wish I could have participated -- even through my computer area is not
a good one to make lace. If others are willing, I would like once a month.
Many times, there are previous committments, as last Sunday was for me.

Now that Lenka's husband is no longer selling the bobbins that worked so
well with wire, I am looking for an alternative. He sold a light colored bobbin
with a hole drilled through the bottom of the shaft and an eye-bolt screwed
into the side of the top of the shaft. (Not the top of the

I know that Jan Gardiner of Lacewing Designs in England sells bobbins
specifically for wire working, but it is much easier and cheaper to make
your own. Just buy any basic, cheap bobbins, drill them slightly to get a

Hello Diane and everyone
A lace on-line meeting could be as formal as exactly once a month, or
it could be any time someone feels moved to host, such as that they
have two or three hours where they are making lace anyway. simply
invite whosoever is on-line at the time - or give a bit of notice as
I like that idea, although the 4th Sunday of the month is the date of my

To address how the second on-line meeting came about, it was the more
possible because as Margot told us, the real members weren't able to
attend the real meeting. Margot saw a chance and took it ;)

I did make some wire bobbins from some on hand. They worked very well. If I
made any more I think I would look for or make bobbins that have a neck
somewhat thicker than ones usually seen. To me the look of the finished lace
is better for not having the wire wound more times around the neck.

I was disappointed to read about the last lace in chat after it had been going
on for quite a while. Reason - I get the digested version of lace chat and if
there has not been much chatting going on, it can take a few days before we get

Perhaps someone who gets the digest would like to host an on-line
meeting? That should accommodate everyone, especially those who are on

Participants would e-mail the hostess directly, not to the lace list
anyway, so the meeting chat would
