The word 'lace' almost seems to equate more with 'pants' than 'fish'. I
might have five fish, but I don't think I have five lace, or five pants.
That just doesn't sound right. But 'laces' makes me think 'shoelaces', as
opposed to what we're doing. so I think it's properly 'pieces of lace', like

Thanks, Avital. I do enjoy reading the travel stories, but I confess I'd
rather read the non-lace seperate from lace content. In future, would a
brief note to this list saying that non-lace trip segments are on chat be
acceptable?

I posted to the individuals, but wanted to let the list know (as requested)
that I have received the cards from my exchange partners. Janet in the UK
sent me a beautiful gold bobbin lace bauble with "Joy" on it, and Penelope
in Estonia sent a gorgeous red bobbin lace bell, complete with jingle. My
I would recommend the HistoricKnit group on Yahoo (
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HistoricKnit );
this discussion comes up from time to time. Off the top of my head, eyelets
were regularly showing up around the middle 1500s and more recognizable lace
knitting in the 1700s, but I wouldn't state that

As a note, if you have previously sent information this year to Arrienne of
Ashford (lat year's coordinator), *please resend* to me if at all possible.
I'm afraid I'm not in a position to get any pre-existing information from
her.

On the whole, I agree with you Jean; it's at least as much about the process
as it is the progress. But in defense of speed - well, the current project
is 9 yards of a fairly straightforward braid lace, so the sooner I can plow
through it, the better!! :D
Actually, I think Lyn said it well. I pref
What Bev said. I have heard (and call it myself) a ricochet crossing, as the
pairs essentially hit and bounce off each other rather than pass through as
in the windmill. I use the C-T-T-C *all* the time in plaited lace, as I tend
to do the Renaissance age plaited laces.

I think I last got architect linen (or the equivelant marketed to lace
makers) from Teh Lacemaker, so not much help there. I imagine Lacis might
carry it, but I haven't looked. Personally, I just use a piece of file

I'm actually a fence straddler. I am such a non-lacy person, but I love
making it in many forms (bobbin, tatted, knit, whatever). But even though
I'm a process person, I try to be somewhat practical - I try to find
projects that I *could* find a use for. I have a couple pieces that I

Yay, Skåne lace! Once I'd heard about Skåne lace, or freehand lace I
think, from this list a while back, I started working some of my 16th

so the fewer you use the better, and many of the laces with short repeats

I had to laugh when I saw this update. I have just been working that very
pattern, and wondered why the fans were so different in the pricking and
the working diagram! Honestly, I just decided which fan style I liked
better (the one that is in the actual picture won) and went on from there.

Adele:
Your story of linen spinners sounds terribly familiar - I learned to spin
because I wanted to create the devastatingly fine wool yarn for a "proper"
wedding ring shawl, and it is equally difficult to get wool spun that
finely. I haven't done it - yet - but at least I do keep spinning more
