Brilliant, Jean. You nailed the problem. My web browser was showing me an old version of the IOLI convention class page, one without times. I wonder what causes the browser to use an old version instead of the newest version? If I go to the Arachne archives, I get the newest version. If I

It’s off the pillow and I am on the whole very pleased with it. It’s in a free-standing comet-shaped metal frame (also sold by the online shop where I got the pattern). I laid it down on black velvet to get contrast for all the threads in it and have uploaded more photos to Flickr for anyone

I'll take down the 3-D lace dragon and hang the star from that hook in the ceiling for the Christmas season. Will be visible from lounge, dining area and even my craft area! Sue suebabbs...@gmail.com http://babbsandbaobabs.blogspot.com/ - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com

RE: [lace] 2017 IOLI convention classes

A thought. These days most things are sent via email. Is there some reason why the IOLI doesn’t attach a PDF of the classes and registration and send it via email to all members? Devon - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Susan Here are a few links to one of my teaching laces from my website, which uses the turning stitch I just described in my previous email. http://lynxlace.com/images-h-det-diag/T14curves.JPG detail http://lynxlace.com/images/T14.jpgwhole thing Lorelei - To unsubscribe send email to

RE: [lace] Russian tape lace

Susan Yes, Russian tape lace uses a pivot pin. There are several ways of doing fudge stitches to help you get around a very tight curve. Sometimes called "turning stitches". The one that appears in the DMC book on tape lace is the one I use most, and I describe it on my website.

Re: [lace] Russian tape lace

What I like to do if it is a tight turn is to work to the inside of the curve, do one twist then leave that pair -no pin. **Pick up the last passive pair you worked through and use it as the worker out to the edge and back to the middle going through all pairs, one twist on the worker. Repeat
