Back then, my DH wanted to update my computer experience so he set up a
computer just for me. He sat me down and told me "type in something". I
typed Bobbin Lace. Arachne was one of the first things to come up. I checked
it out, subscribed, and am still here. I was on the Digest to start wi
Dear Miriam,
I think I joined Arachne in 1998, not sure any more. I have met a lot of
lace makers this way,visited them in their homes while travelling and made
many new friends.
I will always treasure the beautiful bookmark you made for me back around
2000. You even worked my name into it.\

Arachne was a life saver for me as there was hardly anybody in Israel who
made lace at the time. I could ask for help and alway

Hi, Devon and fellow listmembers
I just tuned into this thread. I joined Arachne sometime during its first
year. I remember when someone downloaded the membership list from 'the major',
and found we had reached a membership of 400! Most impressive, at the time.
For a number of years, a memb
HI,
I have no idea when I joined or how I joined, but I do know this that my
early effort to study bobbins were a very collegiate approach with Arachne
members. I have always remembered your willing help and contributions.
There is no doubt as to the value I put on my membership of this

G'day Karen,
I still have your most beautiful solid silver tatting shuttle which I'll
treasure for life. I reckon I got that in 1996 and believe it was the first
one you'd sold outside the USA.
Nice to know you're still here too.

I got involved with Arachne in the mid 90's, pretty close to it's arrival on
the internet and it has been a vital part of my life for all these decades.Â

I’m really enjoying reading everyone’s lace origin and Arachne stories! Thank
you all for sharing.
3000 members on Arachne - wow, that’s impressive! I’m wondering, Avital, if you
might be able to give us an updated count? I’m curious too!
Best,
Elena

I was at an Arachne gathering at the Salt Lake City IOLI Convention and I
realized that many of the younger members were computer gamers and some of
the older members seem to have been part of the Dungeons and Dragons crowd. I
found myself wondering if the founding of Arachne had occurred because
I whole heartedly agree with everything Alice has said about Arachne,
especially Liz and Avital. I have made many friends around the globe
through this list as my husband makes aluminium bobbins though not on
such a large scale as he did before.
I was introduced to Arachne (after our son, who
I found Arachne just after it's first anniversary so I'm not quite a charter
member but it was soon after I started making lace.
The discussions gave me lots of good information and helped my lacemaking.
Then the group decided they wanted a conference so Arachne 98 was born. Thanks
to Pat and
On this special anniversary I would like to thank everyone for the
help and guidance they have given so many over the years.
If it was not for Arachne I would probably not have started my lace

The list is 14 years old? Then I must be mistaken about when I joined.
I guess those diapers were older than I thought! OK, I have to join
the group that hasn't a clue, but I think it was probably at most
12-13 years that I've been on Arachne.

I can't remember when I joined, but I was on the Lace Guild Exec at the
time; Sally Chapman told me about it. I did two stints, 1992-1995 as
an ordinary exec member and 1996-1999 as Hon Sec.
I don't remember the arachne convention in 1998 - probably had Exec
business that evening.

I can't remember the decade I joined, never mind the day, month or year.
Hubbie and I even have to check with our vet to see if our beloved dog is 12
or 13 today - never mind Arachne. Although mostly a lurker, I have learned
so much from this list and made some very lovely friends.

Hi Jacqui
Yes, I remember Pat's gavel! That was a very special Convention in
Nottingham.
It must have been about the same time as you that I joined Arachne. I also
read about it in 'Lace'. I have remained a member all these years and it
was wonderful to meet some Arachnids in Groningen at

Hi all
Has it really been 12 years since Liz started this list... I'm really glad
she left it open, that lacemakers could benefit exchanging discussion on
many topics of interest in a cooperative atmosphere. When it became
necessary she designated one of us as board administrator, thank you Avital
