"Cant's wait to see Linda! I am sure it will be beautiful."
Linda Dumas commented on Lorelei Halley's group Sol laces"Ever since I saw the beautiful work of Elizabeth Horta Correa's doilies, I have been wanting to make a piece of my own. I have made 1 large round motif and now finishing the 8th of 8 smaller motifs. I have been looking at all…"
Linda Dumas commented on Lorelei Halley's group Sol laces"thank you for the responses. I agree that sometimes, it doesn't matter, but I'm working on a motif where threads will need to travel from one point to another and I'm calling that the wrong side."
"I think in theory the wrong side is facing up as you work, but in reality, when I take mine off the pad I cannot tell the difference. I do mainly needleweaving in mine though. If it was mainly knotting, it would make a difference"
Lorelei Halley commented on Lorelei Halley's group Sol laces"Linda
According to Alex Stillwell, in her book, the side of the work facing the pattern is the right side. But she also says to look at both sides, and if the "wrong side" looks better, use that as the "right side"."
Linda Dumas commented on Lorelei Halley's group Sol laces"I have been doing a little teneriffe lately. I have come up with a question. When you are working a motif, are you looking at the front or the back?"

"Here is a link to a video of Burano lace in process. She is using a pillow so both hands are free to manipulate the thread and the needle.

switching isp
Today I am switching to a different internet service provider. If t here are glitches I may go silent for some time, until it gets straightened out. Just so you know. The prospect freaks me out.

Current situation
Our host for the year July 2010 through July 2011 has been settled, and I have received enough donations to pay our ning fee. Consequently, I have deleted the temporary groups that I set up earlier.

Robert said… Thank you Lorelei. I appreciate it.
Question --- Is there a site that compares common characteristics of various laces? Will some differences are visible, others are not to me. What makes Burano lace different from Youghal etc....as an example.

Thank you Lorelei for welcoming me into the group! I am a member of Lacemakers of Puget Sound (new tatter) and have entered into a whole new world! So excited!

- Where do I find the NOTES? I've looked all through the drop downs and don't see them.
I'm so impressed with what I've seen! I'm thrilled that I stumbled into this group!

- Thank you. It's a little mind boggling to find a group that is interested solely in needlelace. I do teach occasionally here in Austin, mostly Whitework and simple lace techniques. Y hands are becoming quite arthritic, so surface work is difficult, but I do want to continue exploring this fascinating world.

Thank you, I have read the NOTES. They were very interesting. I probably should have joined a while ago. Thank you for your offer of help. Ann.

Thank you for your welcome. I am such a beginning beginner - still trying to find out, which techninques for lacemaking my granny might have used. I am quite sure, she knew different ways, and sometimes might even have combinded them. Some pieces i saw where more like your samples here than like other techniques, that i will try out as well. I hope i manage to learn it without her help. First videos here are very helpful to me. Thank you for your great work and teaching. It means a lot to me.
