I love that we have laceioli! But it doesn't really address the issue of seducing my local knitters over to the lace side of the force :) Amanda Furrow Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, US On Fri, Jul 22, 2016 at 04:52:41PM -0500, Lorelei Halley wrote: > Amanda > Perhaps you are not aware of

Something like: cb 1828. I have plenty with initials only and indeed dates, but not initials and dates on the same bobbin (See Freeman page 35) Drop me a note if you can help. Many thanks. Dictionary is making good progress. Decided to make the Honiton/East Devon as part two of

Sorry again. I realized I had sent this via the AOL account, not the gmail account, so I am resending it. Good idea, Jeri. In fact, when I attended the Grand Reveal for the Plymouth Jacket that I worked on they handed me such a press release which I sent to my local paper, largely in the spirit

Response to correspondence generated by Devon Thein in which she refers to supporting young lace artists and CV's (Curriculum Vitae - or, Resumes). We need to make it easier for artists to find us! In the past 20 years, I have shared with Arachne members much about public relations,

Amanda Perhaps you are not aware of laceioli, a ning group which includes all form of hand made lace as its territory. It includes both tatting and teneriffe, as well as others. Joining is free. The IOLI pays our annual hosting fee to ning. The software makes posting and discussing photos very

Our local library now has a studio with all sorts of craft equipment for everyone to use (just need to sign a liability waiver). The library says: "The Studio features the latest technology and equipment, such as 3D printers, Adobe Creative Cloud software and a laser engraver, as well as

Re: [lace] Supporting young lacemakers

Here in Vancouver for the past decade I have noticed, especially among younger people, a strong and growing interest in ‘slow manufacturing’ - ie, making things from scratch. The difference with my generation, I think, is that they’re really intrigued with making their own designs and projects,

Re: [lace] Supporting young lacemakers

It may be that the young people now think different, but 15 years ago, when I had my yarnshop, that is all the young people talked about, how one movie star or another had been seen knitting in between 'takes'. That made several of them go to youtube to learn to knit. Oh, and don't think

Re: [lace] Supporting young lacemakers

I guess there must be some celebrities who do knitting or crocheting since someone said there was. The last one I recall was Rosie Grier who gained some notoriety for needle point. .I have to say I am so far from even knowing who celebrities are these days that it is embarrassing. But, my limited

Re: [lace] Supporting young lacemakers

I think it's a mix of several reasons - doing crafts because celebrities are, because their peers are, or because they need to learn a technique for some aspect of their course. Celebrities have their place - Una Stubbs (actress) more or less started a knitting craze some years back. In the

I would also take issue with the idea that knitting and crochet are popular because celebrities are doing them. My perspective, of course, is perhaps very limited because I live near NY. But, from what I have observed millennials are making things as a form of self-actualization. They are finding
