Hi all,
I was following this auction right up to the finish. No intention to
buy, just to see how far anyone would go, and I also think that the
seller had a very good day compared to the buyer, but then it was the
13th (not Friday).. so anything can happen.

Does anyone know where I might be able to purchase the DVD of Louise Colgan's
Milanese Lace, in the UK, preferably?
Sherry has set me off and I have money to spend from my Mum so this seems a
great time to go for it.
Thanks,

Perhaps someone in the UK can answer your question about a UK provider. If

I haven't started or finished any pieces for myself lately.
But I did do an adaptation of a Torchon book mark from some Japanese book I

ago.
There is a copy of the thistle bookmark on the same page as the pricking in

Jenny,
I have done some turning using both my 'small set' of tools and my regular
set. I use the larger ones almost exclusively, as the smaller ones vibrate
too much. I don't think it is the 'quality' of the set both are comparable in
quality and cost me a 'small fortune'.
Just don't try to
Like Alice, I'm also in preparation for the PNWC lace conference in
June. I'll be taking the Tonder class, and I've got a big pile of
bobbins to wind.
I also have to find a lace pillow to use, and since they're all already
in use my choice is to finish an old project or make a new pillow.

Dear Jenny,
When I make bobbins - I found that having my tools sharp was of
primary importance. Depending on the kind of wood that was used I
might sharpen the tools between making one bobbin and making
another. Walnut for instance will dull a chisel much quicker than
say tulipwood or

It could be a hook for making rag rugs. It has a fairly square shaped hook
similar to the rug hook I have.

U, right off hand I am tempted to call it an afficot (used to burnish
threads in a finished piece of needlelace). The hook at the end is a bit of
a puzzler but perhaps that is an artifact of a prior break in the bone.
On the other hand, you could make a case for it being a primitive shoe
Dora,
The poly-cottons (more poly than cotton) are the least likely to wrinkle, and
the wrinkles will hang out sooner while wearing (the warmth of the body or
something like that).
But knit fabrics are the best for 'wrinkle free'. Sewing with knits does take
a little different skills, but your
