Ruth Bean in 1991. The mat was designed by Miss Channer, but the

You are right, Tamara, I don't think the name has a ring I would want to be

Hello lacemakers,
I have a few questions about thread.
I found a pattern that I want to do, it is a pattern by Karen Trend Nissen.
On the pattern it has a note: 24 par tr. nr. 80/3 B. I think it means 24
pairs, thread # 80/3 Bomuld (cotton). Is this correct? Could anyone please
tell me what

I haven't got that far in Niven yet, but I looked at the book. What I would
do is just omit one of the dots on the pricking, and just treat it as a
printing press stutter. That seems the simplest solution. Treating it as a
two point exchange would require a ring pair, which there isn't.

The price for the adult school lace class being discussed is typical of
California classes. Clearly it is well under-priced for the value. I have
been in this class for a few years. The teacher is incredible and we have

The skew, using your words is a factual question and would go to a jury.
Whether Buck's pricking of the Channer Mat is even copyrightable by Bean or
