Hi Arachnids I certainly opened a can of worms and I think there have been a lot of misconceptions and I now know more since more information has come out. I also read the value of my book as being in £s not $s. It did not help. I had not realised how many organisations would get involved in

Hi Arachnids I know there is an embargo on advertising ones own books but this email is not about advertising but about warning lacemakers. My book ‘All about making – Floral Bucks Point Lace’ has only been available since 21 October 2013 and there is already one available on ebay at of

Hi Arachnids I live in Haywards Heath, Sussex and while we had high winds it was not as bad as we were led to believe it would be. The worst we had was a panel from next door’s fence on our flower bed. There was no damage. Thank you for the mention of my book Cathy. Happy lacemaking Alex -

Hi Arachnids Sorry false alarm, but better safe than sorry. Fortunately no one has replied about receiving strange emails so I assume there is no problem. Perhaps it is because I followed advice given by an Arachnid several years ago about adding a false email address consisting of a number of

Hi Arachnids I suspect my address book has been hacked although no one has reported any problems. I have run my security scans twice, the first time picking up and eliminating suspects, the second time I was clear. DO NOT CLICK on any blue words within emails purporting to have come from me.

Hi Jenny Another tip. Clay has mentioned about keeping the number of twists in the ground constant. You can check this at the end of a diagonal row by slightly easing up the lead thread – the one at the very end of the row. This should pull back to the very beginning of the row and not do a

[lace] Lace and maths

Hi Clay In my experience those with a maths bias tend to be more accurate and can understand how the threads work. In the many years I have been teaching I have come across many who show this ability and who should have been good at maths, but sadly for some reason or other it did not happen.
