Dear Steph
Assuing your friend simply needs a full-sized circular
needle - a 100cm one more than takes enough for a 45

Dear Devon
I suspect the original table you were recalling was in
Pat Earnshaw's Bobbin Needle Laces - Identification
and Care, which tabulates this for various laces, and
includes the figure of 10,000, though not for gros
point. Her figures are based on averaging counts in
1/8 inch squares, so
Hello Barbara
What a lovely idea, thank you for offering to do this.

An aficot was used in needle lace in the finishing
process. To my knowledge there were a couple of types
used. The horn aficot would have been used to polish the
threads of the rolled cordonnets. Metal aficots looked like
large nails with rounded heads, but with a blunt end, no
point. They
I had a long lace wish list and was mildly (but
happily!) satisfied with what I got. I got Brenda's
book Threads for Lace - my family was astounded that
it was REALLY what I wanted. I'm not sure what they
expected? From my DH, I got a pair of glass bobbins
with silver twisted foil inside and

As the digests seem to be few and far between maybe I can ask everyone what
lace related items they received for Christmas?
From my DH I got 3 bobbins, including a lovely mother babe (the babe is

After Noelene's comments about how cold she was in Cooma, I listened more
carefully to the weather reports - and there *was* snow somewhere in the
highlands of New South Walesso that explained why Noelene was so cold!
In Sydney, it was cold, but not bad enough to warrant a fire.
And
Noelene wasn't the only one with snow on the highlands, we had it here in
Victoria too, and we lit a fire last night, it is supposed to be Summer after
all. We are just spoilt from the drought and all the years of warm weather we
had so shouldn't complain I suppose.
