I am also making a garter, but am making 2 narrow strips of lace, I am also

Dear Lorri,
Tolland is not far from Taunton, the county town of Somerset. Somerset is a
county in the SW of England; the next county one way (to the W) is Devon
(where Honiton lace comes from) and the other way, Wiltshire (where Downtown
lace was made). Somerset itself does not have a

book:
Klöppelspitzen. It is the pricking no. 9 on p. 50.
I am not sure how to work the plait which is supposed to run at the edge. When

Hi everyone
This is a short message about the lengthening lace - my garter project
is now at 60 cm. of a 100 cm. goal.

I'm not sure that hand-made lace was made in Somerset. Apart from the

Not lace related, but, as a lot of you sew as well, I hope someone can help.
I've just bought a second-hand Husqvarna Iris embroidery/sewing machine.
Thought that's all I was getting, but, in addition to a card with 24

Thank you so very much for the info. I can hardly wait until I have time to
check out the web sites you gave. But I must run off to work just now.
I knew I would get some answers on this list.
Thanks again

Hi Spiders
I've recently acquired a postcard depicting 20 Bucks lace workers, members
of the Bucks lace Industry, Olney. It states that their combined age is 1600
years the average age is given as 80. The postcard is not postally dated so
I don't know how old it is, nor is the printers name
Dear Martina,
I have Ulrike Voelker's new book Die Kunst Des Haekelns. What you describe is

Hello Nicky
I have a large amount of research on old postcards/pictures of lacemakers.
The picture that you have was published around 1926 by Harry Armstrong of
the Bucks cottage Workers Agency, in a large format book called 'A Sixteenth

anything really meant for posting had the space for the address, space
