Re: [lace] Arachne Anniversary-history

Hi, Devon and fellow listmembers I just tuned into this thread. I joined Arachne sometime during its first year. I remember when someone downloaded the membership list from 'the major', and found we had reached a membership of 400! Most impressive, at the time. For a number of years, a

Re: [lace] How did Arachne start?

I remember when I first discovered Arachne, exploring "lace" through an internet searcher as Yahoo, it was back in 2000. I miss those years of my first steps in lacemaking and the excitement of contacting lacemakers of all over the world in a group that took the bobbin lace from a formal point

Re: [lace] Happy Anniversary

Well, I have been with Arachne since the 1st year! Not sure which month because it was a painful year (fell off a ladder 25 feet to a cement floor in Dec 1995) I discovered bobbin lacemaking as an activity early in 1996 and was searching for a resource. Ran into Arachne, probably pretty close

RE: [lace] Arachne Anniversary

HI, I have no idea when I joined or how I joined, but I do know this that my early effort to study bobbins were a very collegiate approach with Arachne members. I have always remembered your willing help and contributions. There is no doubt as to the value I put on my membership of this

[lace] Arachne Anniversary

I joined Arachne in late 1995 and made lots of friends throughout the world.  I even visited their homes in Canada, Denmark, New Zealand and the UK.  It is nice to put faces to names and is something we always do at our Arachne get togethers at the IOLI convention.  I believe the first one was

[lace] Arachne Anniversary

I found Arachne just after it's first anniversary so I'm not quite a charter member but it was soon after I started making lace. The discussions gave me lots of good information and helped my lacemaking. Then the group decided they wanted a conference so Arachne 98 was born. Thanks to Pat

Re: [lace] Arachne Anniversary

I whole heartedly agree with everything Alice has said about Arachne, especially Liz and Avital. I have made many friends around the globe through this list as my husband makes aluminium bobbins though not on such a large scale as he did before. I was introduced to Arachne (after our son, who

G'day Karen, I still have your most beautiful solid silver tatting shuttle which I'll treasure for life. I reckon I got that in 1996 and believe it was the first one you'd sold outside the USA. Nice to know you're still here too. David Downunder in Ballarat, AUS (No ranting/ravving/crying over

[lace] point ground honeycomb? in Mechlin

I am looking at a piece in our collection. It says it is early 19th century Belgian lace, Mechlin. The background is Mechlin, but the Mechlin ground is widely spaced, like a 19th century Mechlin. One curious thing is that there is a ground that at first looks like honeycomb. But, in fact, it is

(No ranting/ravving/crying over the loss of the 'old Arachne' in this post!) I got involved with Arachne in the mid 90's, pretty close to it's arrival on the internet and it has been a vital part of my life for all these decades.  I'm a tatter and needlelacer and I can say I learned a lot about

I’m really enjoying reading everyone’s lace origin and Arachne stories! Thank you all for sharing. 3000 members on Arachne - wow, that’s impressive! I’m wondering, Avital, if you might be able to give us an updated count? I’m curious too! Best, Elena - To unsubscribe send email to
