[lace] UK trip

[Robin Asman]

Hi

I'm coming to the UK for an event on the 8 - 10 September.  I'll be in the
UK for about 3 weeks and wondered if anyone knew of anything like lace
meetings or lace fairs around this time. We've not booked our flights yet
and I'm keen to find out what is available in a lace sense while I can
still be that bit flexible

Many thanks

Robin from Canberra

RE: [lace] Flanders or Binche cat pattern

[J-D Hammett]

Hi Sherri andFellow Arachnids,

The book it is from is Flanders Lace by Mary Niven. (Publisher, Dryads Press 
Ltd), ISBN 0-85219-691-1.

It is the only pattern in the book that has a working diagram but no 
photograph. I worked the cats about 20 years ago and it is not an easy pattern. 
If you have done a fair amount of Flanders then give it a whirl, but if you 
have not done much Flanders try something a little easier first. The tensioning 
requires great care (do not over-tension) especially in the large areas of 
cloth stitch in the cats themselves.

Hope that helps.

Happy lace making,

Joepie.

Re: [lace] Lace at Amsterdam Festival of Light

[Jeriames]

Dramatic!  It is surprising that we were not told about this  lace by our 
friends in Amsterdam.  Thank you so much for  bringing it to our attention - 
from South Africa.  The links are  interesting.
 
In our years of reading Arachne, we've had the opportunity to  view large 
lace installations in several nations, requiring the  professional skills of 
architects.  Some very special  architects present lace to people who 
otherwise would never  consider attending a museum's lace installation.   Let's 
 
declare a "Be kind to architects holiday".

It is a 12m x 6.8m piece of  lace suspended over one of the canals in
Amsterdam. They had to make the  design in crochet to give it strength but 
it
looks quite authentic in the  pictures. Quite inspirational.
