It's not only keeping the threads apart, for which I've tried several

Hello Alex,
I think that the pages are very nice, fine colours, clear distribution
of information. I had no problems downloading the pattern by clicking right
mouse button and choosing Save picture As ... Very nice work for a beginning
computer user! Congratulations to both of you and I hope
Dear All
Having given it a bit of thought I've decided that my favourite stitch
is probably spiders, because you can usually see if you've gone wrong
straight away. And I find there's a lot of satisfaction in doing
spiders.
I definitely won't be joining those who love half stitch; I've got

Clay,
I took that to mean the half stitch chantilly type filling of a

Hi all,
Since I am young in my bobbin lacemaking career(5 years), I am unfamiliar
with a lot of the terminology like honeycomb. Is there a picture somewhere
online that you could show me some of these stitches you have been talking
about? I tried a google image search and didn't come up with
Dear Friends,
Don't you just love doing Honeycomb stitch??? I do.
I did a big mob of it today. I just find it so gorgeous with it's
tessellating hexagons - not to mention the way it fills whole areas so quickly.
Perhaps you have a favourite stitch you'd like to tell us about

Dear Patty,
Yes I love honeycomb. (David, are you working on the Toender again?)
Not yet - just had to whack out a Bucks Point bookmark for a woman at
my sister's workplace, and was revelling in the honeycomb. Still have
a few months left on the petit point portrait I'm doing before

the book of Mincoff and others. And it makes things only

Thanks for that link. I keep forgetting that Jo has this informative site.
It explains it really well.

The honeycomb stitch is the stitch used in the oval rings running down
the center of the fan. However, in Bucks, the stitch would have two
twists before and after each pin used in the honeycomb design. It looks
like there is one stitch used in the fan. Also, with a different angle,

Mark,
I think your fan has Roseground not Honeycombe. Honeycombe has six pinholes,
one at top, two on the sides and one at the bottom. It is usually surrounded
by a gimp which makes it look like round holes. It is also one of my
favorites. Roseground is definitely not a favorite of mine. I

Thanks for including your web address in your email about Alex's new website.
I have been to your site before and could spend hours looking at all your

ginko leaf. I really liked the last example where you used the
I had another look at Mark's fan - there is honeycomb in the centre of the
silver gimp surrounded flowers towards the outer edge, but just individual
honeycombs, pushed apart by the heavy gimp. The ground closer to the
centre is roseground.
Honeycomb is my favourite ground in Torchon too - I

I was looking at the trail of rose ground referred to previously, and did not
see the area Patty refers to, but I still believe that is not correct
honeycomb as the gimp should be inside the two middle pin holes. Mark's
honeycomb has 8 pinholes, not six. I have not come across an 8 pinhole

Dear Bev,
many thanks for those great looking recipes.
It was also some time before I knew that the British say 'pudding' for
what we call 'dessert' (where we say what's for dessert...)
I think the Brits are the same as us. However, for us a pudding must
be hot and baked. We can still say

I think it is a matter of dialect in England. Our family have always
called it pudding,

For some reason, all the messages from David Collyer go into my spam filter.
I have no idea why. According to my computer, his messages are in my spam
filter because they have been identified by AOL's advanced spam filters.
