Re: [lace] PieceWork, July-August 2017 - An International Selection

[Katrina Worley]

The problem with Zinio is that they use their own format, and with Interweave
Press publications it’s hit-and-miss as to whether or not you can easily
print pages or save an archive PDF file. Several years ago Zinio had an issue
with their server where magazines couldn’t be accessed for something like
two weeks, and unless you had them downloaded locally you couldn’t get at
them. As a result, I don’t completely trust Zinio. Having said that, I do
have to admit that my PieceWork subscription is through Zinio (the
subscription price is often lower through Zinio than directly from
Interweave). I end having to go through some rather convoluted processes to
save the files from the Zinio Reader to a standard PDF so that I can archive
them and access the files from outside of the Zinio reader application.  Other
publications (Handwoven and Spin-Off, in particular) have things set in a way
that it takes a slightly different process to save them from Zinio. Why this
can’t be standard even within one publisher’s offerings is something I
simply don’t understand. So yeah- Zinio is a really convenient way of
accessing digital magazines, but like Amazon’s Kindle or Barnes and
Noble’s nook formats, they really want to lock you into their apps/devices
for accessing the content. When it works, it’s great. When it doesn’t, it
can quickly become frustrating.

If the print copies of the issue are not available, Interweave does have
digital versions of their publications. Here’s the direct link to the
specific issue Jeri is referring to…

https://www.interweave.com/store/piecework-july-august-2017-digital-edition


PieceWork is the one needlework publication that I have EVERY issue of. I
started my subscription with the first issue, and switched to digital as soon
as they made that option available. I even bought the entire back library in
digital version so that I could have an archive on my hard drive while
clearing out the print copies from my workroom. Most of the time I read it on
my iPad, but if I need to print out pages (for instance if there’s a chart
or pattern that I want to stick in my workbag), I print out just the pages
needed and don’t feel bad about making notes on them (I’m one of those who
can’t bring myself to write in books).

Re: [lace] Piecework

[Diane Williams]

I especially loved the Bucks Point pattern in the magazine because it mentions
in the article that a similar design shows up in Downton lace but with a
different ground (honeycomb instead of point ground) and Downton is one of my
favorite laces.  I definitely have that on my wish list once I finish my
bookmark for the exchange.  I found the article about Margaretenspitze
wonderful even if the accompanying project was not terribly intriguing to me.
 I am even a little bit tempted to pick up a crochet hook and try the Clones
crochet.  Piecework continues to inspire and I've been a subscriber for many
years.

Recently I've fallen in love with Romanian Point lace and Piecework
featured an RPL butterfly in their January 2001 issue.  It's one year that's
missing from my collection so I purchased the digital download of the whole
year from Interweave.  I loaded it on my nook and can look at the magazines no
matter where I'm at.  I'll never give up the paper issues, but having the
digital version always with me is pretty sweet.

RE: [lace] Piecework

[Angel Skubic]

I have always found Piecework inspiring. I subscribe and can't seem to find
a reason to stop since every issue is full of something that I can do or get
excited about. I also go crazy for the single special issues Traditions
for knitting (3 or 4 issues already out) and Traditions for crochet which
covers tons of crocheted lace. Knitted, crocheted, bobbin and needle laces
of all kinds are always popping up in Piecework magazine, even when it is
not the Spring Lace issue. I must admit, however, I really do wait
impatiently every year for the lace issues.
Bucks Point is my favourite type of lace so very thrilled with the nice
pattern in this spring's issue.

RE: [lace] Piecework magazine/ Carrickmacross Lace

[Annette Meldrum]

Hi Sherry
I agree that the lace issue is worth having!
BTW, The Wedding dress was not Carrickmacross lace, but the Carrickmacross
technique of appliqué was used to transfer the machine made motifs in the
lace to the tulle of the dress.
Brenda posted this url last week which is a video clip of the making of the
dress

Subject: [lace] Piecework magazine/ Carrickmacross Lace

   I thought I would let you all know with the talk of the Royal Wedding
dress
(which I didn't think the lace looked like Carrickmacross to me) bring me to
the May/June issue of Piecework magazine
Years ago I took a lace
class of Carrickmacross Lace with Mary Shields in Ithaca, N.Y. 
After
that class Mary had said she would love to have a lace bobbin painted by me.
In exchange she said she would design a Carrickmacross pattern for me that I
could use to make a pin. Imagine my surprise when I got a pattern in the
mail
along with the material I needed to finish it along with fan sticks to frame
my lace into and make a pin. Since seeing the article in the magazine it is
making me think of making that pin. There is the letter S in the middle
for
my first name.

   This email was intended to share with you all
about the Carrickmacross lace that was featured in Piecework magazine.

Thank you everyone for web addresses and suggestion I take out a 
subscription.  I will explore that once I am back from holiday; I leave on 
Tuesday.  
Before I do that, though, I will try to find the email address of a UK firm 
which 
used to be able to supply it on subscription and ask them if they can still do 
this.  It may be they can't either.

RE: [lace] PieceWork Magazine

[Avital]

You could still get a subscription to PW. Book and magazine sellers have never
carried PW in Israel, so I've subscribed since issue 10, years ago.
Occasionally, I've thought of dropping the subscription because the magazine has
become thinner and (to my mind) somewhat superficial, but every now and then a
really good article comes along.

Best wishes,

Avital

 My thanks to all who replied in answer to my query.  Today was the first that
 I was able to return to my newsagent.  The very efficient lady phoned the
 wholesaler again on my behalf and was told very firmly that it is no longer

Evidently it's very expensive,
US$60 per ounce.  It sounds like an illegal substance!


Yes!  It is very, very expensive!  The reason being, even the Inuit people 
don't shear the animals, they gather the bits the musk oxen shed on the 
tundra.  Although they are really cute animals, they aren't very nice and 
don't take to domestication.  Several years agp I had the opportunity to 
obtain some quiviut blended with tussah silk.  Words fail me!  Spinning it 
was like holding a handful of whipped cream!   I think I got it in the late 
80's/early 90's at $65.00 US per ounce then.  Those who know me know that I 
can't resist spinning fiber and the more lucious the better!  (I have enough 
to open a store) and those who know me know I have a big mouth and 
occasionally tend to put my foot right into it.  So one day I was with a 
lace making friend who knits Shetland lace shawls.  I quote Gee, I should 
give you some of my handspun and have you knit me a shawl!  Next time I was 
at her house, she plopped a pile of books in my lap and said, Pick your 
pattern!  So I gave her several choices, she chose Mediterranean Lace on 
page 63 of A Gathering of Lace.  Whit Beryl's skill, it turned out 
incredible!  If you were at the Northwest Lace Conference in Victoria, BC a 
couple of years ago, you would have seen it.  It's like wearing a cloud!


Urged to insure it, DH and were talking about one evening and came up with a 
value of at least $5000.  Counting the cost of the fiber, my spinning time 
(maybe 200 hours) and Beryl's knitting time (maybe 300 hours), that's not 
unreasonable.  Of course, no insurance company would pay out that much! 
They would cover the cost of the fiber, if I could find the receipt!


So, that's my quiviut story!

Linda, the string-a-holic in Oregon where we've had just short of 12 on 
rain since October 1 so I'm knitting lace with handspun.
