I have got a lovely little wooden roller which looks like a tiny rolling
pin, it has a hole either end for pinning it to the pillow and that works
brilliantly for rolling strip lace, up to about 4 inches wide although I
have only normally worked up to 2 inches so far.
It certainly seems like
I have never heard of that type of lace. Still that is part of the magic of
learning lacemaking.

Wow. What kind of lace is it?

For those who have not heard of s'Gravensmoer, don't feel bad. It is a
lovely lace which, as Brenda said, is most like Torchon. It was made is a
particular part of Holland, and used for their caps. The every-day cap was
rather simple, but the Sunday Best was large and showy! It has been

I am going to lend the bride a handkerchief made in Bedfordshire/Cluny style

My only excursion into bridal lace was a hanky edging. It was a NEW
work,
I found the handerchief edge quite difficult with all the leaves, but am
glad I did it, as there are quite a few females in the family so I hope it
will be carried by many brides and all the future daughter in laws coming
into the wider family can use it too. I am hoping it becomes a family

Last year, I finished off a piece of lace that mum had started and trimmed a
hanky for Jacquie's wedding (wow, just over a year ago now - doesn't time

Hi,
For all those who can spend more time deciding on which beads to put
on a spangle than they spend choosing which piece of lace to make
next, this site is for you http://www.beadshop.co.uk/ One of my
friends introduced me to the shop while I was in London today and it
is lovely (and they
The little spiders are cute, but you'd better use them only on bobbins you
don't want to use for sewings. They look like they'd catch a lot in the
threads.

Lovely Lace, Sue. -- Especially that gorgeous Rocking Horse! Where did you
get the pattern, please?
I would Love to make it.
I made the Honiton rocking horse, from the Biggins Honiton Book, - but I
made it in Needlelace, and it looks great. I would love to have a friend
for it!

And in the U.S. there's Firemountain Gems (available on-line too).
But the best is that I caught a Mardi Gras throw last night that was glass

It's from Russian Lace Patterns by Anna Korableva and Bridget M.Cook.
There are lots of pretty and interesting patterns in that book. Sue
There are several small books of patterns by Marjorie Preece (sp?). I
know The Lacemaker (Ohio, USA) sells them. I don't know if other
suppliers also carry the books, but they may.
However, I don't think there's anything about the technique--just
patterns for those who know how to do it.
