I have only one comment - besides saying that you have done a good job with

Can anyone please explain how to work a Split Chain in tatting.
It is a way of passing from one round to another, without cutting off, and
starting again on the next round.
I believe you work part way along the chain, then make a long link to the
start of the round, and somehow work back along
For split chain instructions you can follow one of this links:

Some of us have mentioned the UK Lace Guild's/Pat
Rowley's Art Trade or Mystery - Lace and Lacemaking
in Northamptonshire as having a point ground paisley
pattern in it, though as it's 8 inches wide, with a
4.5 inch repeat, possibly not something to be knocked
off quickly for the top of a blouse!
I agree with everything Leonard has said about this

Question is, what sort of patterns best suit variegated yarn? Cloth stitch
or half stitch diamonds/trails? Big or little spiders?
Sounds lovely! What are the colors?
The elements that, IMO, best show off variegated threads are:

that I was there mostly to keep my friend company.
I believe it's not a matter of secrecy.

Our lace group has been demonstrating lacemaking there for the past few

Robin,
Thank you for your response, and thanks to others who replied privately.
Mostly I decided to write to alert anyone interested of this problem, so
that it could be remedied if IOLI sees fit.
As you say, boring business meetings (in this case, mostly by-law
changes). So, as you said, why
While it was unfortunate that the situation happened, consider this. IOLI
stands for International Old Lacers, Incorporated. That last word has more
meaning then most of us give. After all we are just a group of people
getting together for making lace. But in fact the organization is required
Hi All, I wanted to add my two cents about Tina I haven't

a picture on each page with a similarity - a doily of the same

There is a strange noise on my roof. It woke me just after 5AM.
Then there was some rumbling in the distance.
Believe it or not, it is raining.
Finally.
It is too dark to make lace so I'm going back to bed!
