Dear Janis,
Perhaps it would be possible for you to let Jenny know that some people on the
internet are interested in her book and ask how we can get hold of them?

Is it possible for her to produce as a pdf (easy to do these days) and then
sell it on the internet - collecting payment by Paypal?

Hi Julie and fellow Arachnids,
Thank you Julie for a very interesting 'thread' which certainly looks worth
following up.
Further as to lurk or not to lurk; when I joined a few years ago, I got
'shot down' by a lady from a most unexpected quarter and did not post for
several months. Then
Hi Arachnids,
Could these books be published via the internet ?

Barbara Ballantyne, Australian expert on historic crochet, has her books
distributed by Lacis in the U.S. She has at least one distributor in
Europe, I think in the U.K.
You might ask her how this works and find out if it is feasible for the
Koops book.

Thanks for all the suggestions for distributing Jenny Koops books. There are
one or two other small South African Books too including Jean Horne's.
It is a difficult time to speak to Jenny at the moment as her husband has
just had a stroke and is still in hospital but I will follow up on your

but just an idea, I think the prospect of getting every member to
contribute to a lace panel (might be a very LONG panel) would be difficult
As a rank beginner, I haven't contributed much to the list, but I will make
more of an effort to contribute as I can. I'm just so inspired and in awe of
the knowledge on this list, and so enjoyed meeting fellow Arachne-ans at the
IOLI convention in St. Paul last summer.

Two things, first for those where English is not the first language, may I
suggest doing what my cousin Ellen and I do. My German is poor, and her
English is worse. So she speaks and writes to me in German, and I speak and
write to her in English. We each have our little yellow dictionaries,
The International Lace Dictionary is certainly an asset to any lace library.
I bought mine from Barbara Fay in Germany by mail order:

Robin, that is terrible. I had it happen once many years ago - and I did
not, in those days, pin down my bobbins! It took a couple of hours to
untangle them. Since then I Always slip them on to knitters stitch
holders!! I learned the hard way!!
Pity there is a broken thread. I hope you can
Dear Ayla, and other newbies to the list...
When I first joined Arachne, I had only been making lace for about six weeks!
However, I had a medical crisis that confined me for another six weeks, so I
could not go to guild meetings to continue my lessons. (Note to guilds...
Have an outreach
Julie, I found your article extremely interesting, - and I learned quite a
lot!!
Please keep posting with these Gems. Items like these get overlooked , - or
not looked into at all, and they are just so informative, and help us to
understand what we are looking at, or call by a different name.

Dear T,
I wonder what did become of Susan, I had forgotten all about her,
is it that long ago David?
Wasn't, really; David misremembers :)it had to have been *at
least* 2003...
Thanks for that correction. I knew it was a long time ago - fancy -
only 10 years!

Well, since Jeri has got so many of the lurkers out of hiding and some of
my old friends are posting, I had better come out too.
I'm Heather Muth and have been with Arachne almost since the beginning.
I've lurked for many years now. Tamara, I'm so sorry to hear of your
husband.Like Tamara,
Just looked in the Arachne archive and she was posting in 2004.
