It's funny, DH will ask about the price of the shopping, how much I'm spending
on fuel. What the vets bills were and can't we negotiate.
But a new bobbin? Don't I need a pair? Am I sure I only want that one what
about the others? A new pillow? Who makes the best?

There's a 'hole' in the middle which makes the fabric look like a very fat

What a lot of Digests! I think some lurkers have decided to unlurk, but why
should the other lurkers not enjoy the Digests without replying? We are all

it matter? For those who are enjoying learning from
Arachne 20 years - a Stuart Johnson bobbin please, I have a cupboard of cover
cloths and I can only use one decorative one at a time.
Wow! Alex, I'm impressed - I presume only one decorative one means you have
only one pillow on the go at any one time!!

Hi Sue
I only use one pillow at a time. I have two more on the go with a pretty cover

Apologies for the mistake in the magazine. I´ve just checked and and

Hello All! Robin--great idea! Patches of uniform-size lace would make an
interesting result. As Robin knows, Pittsburgh Lace Group made an afghan for

Wish I could Sue. I don't think the sale of a few books would pay for the
airfare though.
I did go to the lace Guild AGM weekend a few years ago and enjoyed it very
much.
If you are going, have a great time.

Dear Arachnes,
Although I like the idea of sprinkling our messages with lace terms
from our native languages, I should warn you never to trust machine
translations (and I should know, I'm a certified translator!) with
your lace terms.
Jenny's message was a good example. The terms she had

I came across a mention of peccadilles in some non-lace reading and got
curious and decided to do some research. My lace library isn't as extensive
as others' so when I didn't find anything (e.g. Earnshaw, Dictionary of
lace), I turned to Google. First stop, Wikipedia, which suggested
