Just coming out of lurkdom (as per Lyn's post) to pick up on Antje's reference
to problems with this kind of list. One of the best things about Arachne is the
existence of the lace-chat list. Although I no longer subscribe to it, I'm glad
it's there because it means posts on the main

Hi all,
As a relative newby to Arachne I would like to add my thanks and my admiration
to Avital as well as everyone else involved. After more years than I care to
remember of lace making and teaching I am still learning an enormous amount
from all that take part. Questions I had not even thought
I would like to wish Arachne all its Arachneans/Arachnid lacemakers
all the best for the year ahead.
Keep on keeping on!
I'm especially happy today as DH is on his way home after being away for

So I'm heading up to Tallinn this afternoon to meet him at the airport.

Well done, Tamara! You've given the Bulletin a very long period of hard
work and dedication, and all IOLI members have benefited from the

Hi Lyn
Lace News is very good at giving dates for lace days but of course they can
only advertise if the person or persons organising the lace day inform them
on the details. If you subscribe (its free) they send regular emails on what

Many thanks to Liz for starting Arachne. I found it when it was just one year
old. It has had a big part in expanding my education about lace and
