yet another possible lace bobbin on ebay: # 130391486006
It is asymmetrical so it doesn't seem quite right to be a roller for straight
lace. Is that what it is?

Sorry all, Yahoo did something odd with my previous post.
Just a comment
that it was interesting how different some of the bobbins were from the others
in the photos.
Thanks for posting the link, Claire!

I have purchased a length of beautiful needlelace that the

is disagreement over the likely age of the piece. I am hoping that some of the

Many lacemakers, especially in Europe, make stunning 3-dimensional pieces.
Therefore I think this post is not off-topic because it will be of interest to
anyone on the list interested in 3-D textiles, plus the significant number of
us interested in math.

I like a curiosity of lacemakers as a collective noun, as in a herd of
sheep, a murder of crows, a business of ferrets.
Is that what you meant, Jacquie?
So Arachne is a curiosity of lacemakers.

Alix,
Your work is so beautiful! And you are very skilled to be doing both
needlelace and bobbin lace so wonderfully.
I loved your Binche pieces, which
I hadn't seen before. Where are the patterns from? I recognized only one of
them.

Yes, I agree that lace is easy compared to the math analysis, but I thought it
was fascinating that there even was a math analysis of something so much like
