Hi All,
My understanding of a Josephine knot is both halves of a square knot with a
single strand space inbetween.
I bought a long shuttle a long time ago with a view to trying Filet Lace,
looks like fishing net with filling stitches similar to what I have seen in
other styles of lace books.
Hi Agnes
At least you did not choose your right wrist. A broke my left and I am
left-handed. Fortunately mine was not as painfull as yours sounds. Just to put
the records straightI did not stay in hospital overnight, I was back in the
hotel about 7pm and the only after effect of the anaesthetic
They call it Scoobidou Faye it's done with 'plastic cords' and
depending on how you do it you get either a round or a square cord.

Seriously though, it's not nice breaking a bone I remember it
well!! but if I ever do it again I'm asking for this surgeon! Hope
it's better soon, it's bad enough being a leftie in a right handed

That sounds more like a picot - a Josephine knot is a ring made up of
stitches which
That is correct, if you do it during a chain you get a neat continuous twist
to the chain.

We used netting needles at college - look like a rod with a tuning fork
at either end - you need something thinner than a shuttle if you are aiming
for a fine mesh.
It's the mesh stick, not the needle, which controls the size of the holes
in the net. But I think that a shuttle
Dear Friends,
I have almost finished reading a book which was a school prize
awarded to my Grandfather, David McGARVIE, in 1902 when he was 10
years old. I can tell you that the language is even quite difficult
for an adult. I doubt it has ever been read. The book is called
Crown Empire -
For those that want to know more, from what my sources tell me, the first
recorded statement of tatting is in 1834. And with most handiwork you can
assume that it had a beginning of many years before that with teachings and
word of mouth.

Hi everyone;
I am looking for input...
I know what IOLI is, and have been to a number of their conventions.
Their conventions are essentially their annual general meeting with
classes, the classes being the more time consuming part of the week long
event.
I have heard of OIDFA, but have
Hi all,
Margaret Morgan teaches netting here in Australia and I did her class in
Brisbane at the Australian Lace Guild AGM.

wrong if you loose concentration.
I finished one small doyley in class over 2 days (and much of
Funny thing, I too am looking for a roommate, but for the nearby campground. I
pay, for four days, what I expect is less than one day for a double room at the
hotel. The campground has nice bathrooms, good showers. This is a state park,
and there is no electricity available. I am tenting.
I'm intrigued. Will the lace or embroidery made by a left-handed worker be
identifiable as such, once finished? And will this enable the maker to be
more nearly identified?
I'm imagining future textile experts saying well, this was made by a
left-handed person in the early 21st century, and we
