[lace] lace in fashion
Hello all, As the list is very quiet, I take the opportunity to comment that some days ago, a Galician fashion designer, contact me asking me for people which can produce laces. It seems that next autum-winter fashion 2006, laces will be the most on complements, collars and insertions. So...lets go to make lace and be in fashion! Regards from a sunny Barcelona.

... but in general it's not good practice to make a site inaccesible to a lot of potential visitors. It's a choice of the webmaster whether he/she considers something like 1-5% as a lot. What is it that IE 5.5 for Windows can do that 5.2 for Mac can't? ... Brenda Andre-Piere Limouzin is using modern techniques like XML and VML. These techniques are not yet widely supported. I already tried to explain him he should do the translation from XML to HTML before publishing the pages, but failed to convince him, perhaps if more complain... He does speak English but he explained me English emails are likely to be ignored (considered spam). As for the utf-8 Character Encoding, that might be caused by being French. I'm using myself VML on http://www.xs4all.nl/~falkink/lace/grid-NL.html only supported by MS-IE 5.0 and newer. This technique creates pictures that are razorsharp on paper and at any scale. There is an alternative for VML but then visitors have to install something similar to acrobat reader for PDF files. So I had a choice: disappoint some of my vistors for a small part of my site, or enforce all to download software, which they usually won't do: afraid of trouble, too 'puter-illiterate or too lazy.

And as for not supporting anything other than Internet Explorer - well the web page writers have obviously got shares in Microsoft and want to encourage Bill Gates' monopoly trying to stop anyone having a Mac or being able to choose which browser they prefer. This seems a bit of an unfair slight on web designers and writers. Back in 1990 when Tim Berners-Lee invented the world wide web and the language for the web - html - all he envisaged was a system for document retrieval and interlinking. The language used for writing web pages was text based (could be produced in NotePad or any other text editor) and there was no thought of including images. For good or ill - and there are arguments both ways - over the last 15 or so years the web has grown exponentially and the original text browsers like the original Mozilla (later Netscape) have become more sophisticated in order to read the pages being written by web designers. Web designers have an interest in pushing the boundaries and there is a cyclical effect of more sophisticated pages needing more sophisticated software encouraging the development of more sophisticated pages. Some designers will continue to produce simple html pages alongside and as an alternative to their other offerings and others consider this an inefficient use of time. It has little or nothing to do with support for the Microsoft empire - there is little or nothing that will not display equally well on any of the cutting edge browsers be they IE, Firefox, Opera, etc. In advising a user that an upgrade is necessary in order to read a webpage, the designer is simply being realistic about what will work on what and is using programming techniques to recognise which browser is in use. In the case cited at the start of this thread, it is interesting only IE 5.5 was required rather than the current version. Clearly not everybody is able or willing to run all the most up-to-date software, but that does not imply anything sinister in being at the cutting edge of technology. Apologies that this has little to do with lace, but much to do with recent technological history. Though come to think of it, isn't the Lace Guild now offering an RSS feed...

[lace] Pattern for bobbin lace classes

Do you draw your own prickings and your own course? (Copyright reasons) or what could I use?

Re: [lace] Pattern for bobbin lace classes
I'm emerging from serious lurkdom, hereg I took an online bobbin lace class a couple of years ago from Bjarne, who, I think, also lurks on this list. If I recall correctly, he used some of his own designs, as well as some historical ones. I also had access to some books on bobbin lace that were relatively inexpensive and relatively easily available, at least here in the US. I don't have any idea what would be available in Germany, or in Europe-in-general, let alone things that are oriented for non-English speakers (I've only got two non-English lace books [both Danish] and even they've got some English text). If there's a relatively inexpensive book available to you, perhaps you could use that? Or internet sources, if your students are likely to have internet access? Or perhaps patterns that are copyright free? It also occurs to me that perhaps you could make arrangements with local museums, if you have any that have lace in their collections. Sometimes, they'll allow things for educational purposes that they wouldn't otherwise. Most of the beginner-oriented stuff I've seen here in the US seems to start folks off with some form of Torchon lace, probably because it's relatively coarse and easy to learn. Starting with work on short bits appropriate for use as bookmarks, and working through simple edgings to more complex ones Hope this helps Sue in Montana (NW corner of the US), where she doesn't have nearly enough time for her lace making, because she made the mistake of discovering how fun it is to spin and weave her own fabrics;o) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dear Arachneans, finally I decided to advertise a beginners course in bobbin lace in autumn.

In message [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes finally I decided to advertise a beginners course in bobbin lace in autumn. I would like to know, which patterns/prickings you use in the courses you teach? I use my own patterns, or those for which I have obtained permission to use (in which case the students are asked to buy their own copy). Does the German Lace Guild produce anything in the same way that The Lace Guild in the UK does? The guild's book Introduction to Torchon Lace is less than five pounds, so I don't have any problems with asking students to buy it. At least then they have a back up (along with the handouts I have produced on various techniques) for working at home. You will, I assume, need something with the text in German! Sorting out your own paperwork in advance, and planning the basis of your course (which may or may not be thoroughly revised after the first session with the students) at least gives you a chance to plan what you are intending to teach them, to work out what you can reasonably expect of them (remember they will all learn and work at differing speeds!) and give you an idea of what you need to take with you (if the class is to be away from home) or get out ready on the day. It is also a good idea to consider insurance - you will need liability cover, and if you are teaching at home, consider whether this has any implications on your household insurance and any restrictions on lease/rental agreements etc. In the UK we can insure our classes through the Guild, as long as we are Guild members. -- Jane Partridge -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

That's *5* browsers, all of them more stable than the Internet Explorer, for which reason they're recommended by most computer-knowledgeable people and quite popular. So I really think that between them they're likely to be used by much more than 1-1.5% of Internet-connected people. And then David explained: the checking script that is invoked when you hit the button locks out any browser that isn't Internet Explorer of version number 5.5 or higher. That's *any* browser other than a newish Explorer, and that an Explorer for Windows only, not the one for Mac, however new. So, simply updating a browser (as Susie from Illinois suggested) would't do a blind bit of good; I'd have to buy a new 'puter first, and make sure it ran off Windows. Which I won't do, as I switched to Mac for the very reason I hated the 'puter when I was using Windows. Since I've switched, I don't hate it anymore. Even though I'm no more 'puter literate now than I had been 3 yrs ago... :) Perhaps Jean Nathan (in Poole) is right, and the writer has shares in Microsoft :) It wouldn't be the first time Microsoft tried to manipulate the market so as to assure itself of monopoly (remember the Java scandal?).

[lace-chat] :) Fwd: Nag, nag, nag
New (to me anyway), and superb; I laughed so hard I cried... From: S.M. An attorney got home late one evening, after a very taxing day spent trying to get a stay of execution for a client, named Wright, who was due to be hanged for murder at midnight. His last-minute plea for clemency to the governor had failed and he was feeling worn out and depressed. As soon as he got through the door at home, his wife started on him about, What time of night do you call this? Where have you been? and on and on. Too shattered to play his usual role in this familiar ritual, he went and poured himself a shot of whiskey and headed off for a long hot soak in the bathtub pursued by the predictable sarcastic remarks. While he was in the bath, the phone rang. The wife answered and was told that her husband's client had been granted his stay of execution after all. Finally realizing what a day he must have had, she decided to go upstairs to give him the good news. As she opened the bathroom door, she was greeted by the sight of her husband's rear end as he was bent over naked, drying his legs and feet. They're not hanging Wright tonight, she said.
