Hi, I am Noelene van Iperen from Tauranga, New Zealand, and I would

zone 12
and we are usually 12 hours ahead (depending on daylight saving) of the
UK
so presumably I would be amongst the first to start in the relay
Please everyone, stop posting your time zones. I'm no longer noting
them down. When a date is set for the relay, we'll just have to do it
again to see who is available on the particular day.

To all Arachneans interested in the lace relay: I think we need to stop
and ask ourselves the purpose of a round-the-world lace relay - is it to
show that lace is continuously being made round the world over the 24

And in the UK (and probably elsewhere) they told lace 'tells' or rhymes
that did a similar job. There is some thinking that the 'Jack be
nimble' nursery rhyme was one.
I think there are references to them in Thomas Wright's book, Romance

When it comes to my spangled East Midlands bobbins, I know I love the

Beautiful.
This reminds me of a message to Arachne some time ago, about a
lacemaker with all her bobbins made of glass.

I'm wondering if maybe I've been doing Irish crochet for years and just
didn't know it. I've made doilies with these roses since the 1940's. I
just called the roses - Irish roses, but never associated them with actual
