Fw: Re: [lace] to mangle or not to mangle

Dear Jenny, Went to your website, and you are prolific! Amazing. I do like longterm projects. There is something about them that I feel connects me to the original lacemakers. Anyhow, in your website you talk about wetting the lace and then rolling it out. I learned to mangle by taking the

One of my ferrets (they both still live because I don't know which one) climbed up my stack of lace pillows last night to the one I've been working on.  Ferrets like to dig, and they like things that rustle, click, or otherwise make noise.  Image the little beast's delight when s/he discovered

You have my deepest sympathy, Nancy. That's why I have a large dog - does not climb on anything. Agnes Boddington - Elloughton UK One of my ferrets (they both still live because I don't know which one) climbed up my stack of lace pillows last night to the one I've been working on. - To

Re: [lace] sympathy needed

Watch out, Agnes. Our Newfoundland, Sirius, (after Harry Potter's Sirius Black) wags her tail, and if she's in the right place, the bobbins move. And since the pillow with the altar cloth is right by the sliding glass doors in the kitchen, where Sirius will go in and out, I'm sure some day

Re: [lace] sympathy needed

I am quite disciplined: when I stop my lacemaking, I always lift the pillow off the stand and onto the table in my craft room. Agnes Watch out, Agnes. Our Newfoundland, Sirius, (after Harry Potter's Sirius Black) wags her tail, and if she's in the right place, the bobbins move. And since the

I will just have to try, you make it sound complicated - isn't there just a single thread? I hope some videos will help in the learning process. Darlene Wainwright darlen...@xplornet.com Good luck Darlene. I learnt tatting from a book and you will need to have patience. The trick is that you

I really enjoyed your blog, Sue and it does have lots of good inspiration. I will have to find a quiet afternoon to try this. thanks very much. Darlene Wainwright darlen...@xplornet.com _ I agree with Alex Darlene. I make bobbin lace and am a tatter! The hardest bit to 'learn' is

Nancy: my commiserations. One of my cats did that once. I got home from work and found my pillow with spangled bobbins upside down on the floor, 2 broken bobbins. One was my only bone one. Time elapsed from the disaster meant both cats were puzzled about why I was yelling and waving my arms

[lace] Lighting for lace.

I have a lighted magnifier that screw onto the side of a table, like that one shown in the Daylight company link, - except mine is not a round fluorescent tube, but a normal light bulb. However I found this too bright for my needlelace, and too hot on my hand, so I use just an 11 or 15 watt

Re: [lace] sympathy needed -cat deterrent

Hi Lorelei, You might try carrying a spray bottle of water - a quick squirt in the face should deter most cats. If plain water doesn't work, add a dash of white (distilled) vinegar (though I guess vinegar could be bad for the lace...) Or, you can leave little loops of masking tape (sticky
