Hello all-
For a long time, I've been looking at the mug hanging in my kitchen that
reads 2000 Lace@arachne.com - 5th Anniversary 2000 (a spider hangs off of
the 2), and wondering if there would be a 20th anniversary commemoration.
It's been at least 5 years since we managed that. (Thank you,
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
one of the members when she lost her eyesight a few years ago. It was a fun
project well received. Arachne lace would make nice gifts for
Robin,
Remember the days when we used to have heaps of tatted Round Robins
on the go? Nothing ever went wrong with the postage all round the
world. Occasionally one person would hold up the procedure, but that's all.
I had envisaged the various elements being sent to one person or
group to
Dear David in Australia,
My experience is that since the 9/11 attack on U.S. buildings and related
terror incidents, various postal entities in many nations have instituted
screening processes that involve putting incoming packages in holding
facilities until they can get around to
I like the idea of a cover cloth for the 20th anniversary. I do have more
bobbins than I can count, but there are never enough cover cloths, and a
commemorative one would be really nice
I'm not averse to the idea of a bobbin too!
As to people who read but don't post - I am happy for you to
That's a lovely idea!
But, does anyone know where we can have covercloths done with (I assume)
some wording/years printed on it? Who would take on the task, collect
payment, despatch to everyone who would like one etc. etc.

I like the idea of a cover cloth
be something as unoriginal
as '20th Anniversary of Arachne' with a picture of a stylised spider!

Perhaps a small catalog would allow persons to pick their need. usually
i buy it all but that isn't always true for others. When i started lacing
about 13 years ago, i bought more bobbins and used antique/vintage cloths.
i, too, have few but my bobbin count is over 1,000. either would be a
Sorry. Maybe a charm could be put together as well. that could go on a
pin format, or a spangle, or even just pinned to the pin cushion.

OK, I'll air my ignorance, a quick google search didn't look very

Not much use to a tatter, knitter or crocheter, and possibly only a
little so to a needle-lacemaker! We do tend to forget that there are
forms of lace other than bobbin lace on Arachne :-)
To answer John's question, it is usually either a square or rectangle of
cloth, about the size of a
I often use a cloth similar to a cover cloth when I'm knitting or tatting... I
lay it on my lap so that I can drop my work into it, wrap it quickly and move
it so it doesn't get tangled/dirty when putting it into my bag. When spinning,
a similar cloth keeps lint and dust off my clothes. Rather
Hi everyone,
I am new to Arachne and started learning bobbin lace Fall 2012.
I like to make lots of things and my immediate family has attended the Bay
Area Maker Faire for the last three years (http://makerfaire.com/). Maker

Dear gentle spiders,
I'm not sure if it was the afternoon learning to crochet or the three Bellinis
but I was thinking that I'd love a spider broach to celebrate.

Hi All,
Personally I prefer plain fabric to cover both pillows and cover cloths.
One person has already mentioned machine embroidery, would not be difficult to
make a plain homespun cover cloth with a specially designed motif in the
corner.
Am doing some Aussie flowers on the corners of some

I, and I'm sure many others, have an Arachne enamelled badge. Can't remember
how long ago I got it.
