Great explanation, Lorelei. Just one thing to add. Janice was telling me that she needed an email address rather than user name to login to Flickr. If that is the case, she will need to use: arachne2...@yahoo.com Sue sueba...@comcast.net -Original Message- From: Lorelei Halley

[lace] Royal Honiton Lace Honiton knots vs wasting thread

2013-02-02 Thread hottleco
Hello All! Am I the only one who is being driven crazy (-ier!!) by the knot theory of Honiton?!? Or is this simply a function of using tatting cotton enlarged prickings (i.e. Honiton Big Bold)? The rolled back knot invariably rears its ugly little head, along with brother sister knots on

Hello Susan and everyone Yes, you are correct - the thicker threads will not behave as the fine threads do for Honiton lace, so adjust your technique accordingly. My free advice for today is don't fight your materials ;) You *can* do whatever works for you to make the lace the way you want! On

Dear Agnes, It is never a good idea to give this much personal information on the internet. Too many non-lace people may be signed up on Arachne just to fish for private information. We uncovered one recently that had nothing to do with lace. Not long ago, I warned about this.

Hi, Sue Babbs was correct. I had to sign out of Yahoo and sign in as a different user and used the one below. it worked. When I got in, I couldn't remember what I was going to post, so I put on the Thomas Lester piece that I finished in January. I enlarged it to 125% of the pricking that

The Winter OIDFA bulletin was delivered some time ago, and I was hopeful someone who does not write often to Arachne would introduce this subject. The 4-page article starting on page 12 is about 100 Years of Czech Contemporary Lace, by Anna Halikova. Anyone who attended the Prague OIDFA

Hello Jeri and everyone Just a headsup, no 'person' in Nigeria got your e-mail, nor did a person from anywhere else - it was scooped by a computer program. Who wrote the program and propelled it into pestering us? I don't know. Dora's address is probably safe enough within our e-mail list and if

My Lace Guild magazine arrived today but DH didn't tell me. I spotted the envelope after dinner and settled down for a read. Imagine my surprise when, on page 21 there is a photo of my needlelace effort for the Lace Street. I sent the photo I based the design on of my home along with a scan

Hello JJ and everyone I don't know of such a book that would decode a pricking on its own, unless the pricking has been marked, in which case some publications do have charts with a glossary of conventional markings (such has a symbol representing an area of half-stitch, another symbol to
