NEEDLELACETALK

NEEDLELACETALK is a network I created on ning in February of 2010, for true needlelace.

http://needlelacetalk.ning.com

Needlelacetalk includes reticello, Pag, Turkish/Armenian oya, and puncetto, as well as traditional western European needle laces such as Alencon, point de gaze and gros point.

NEEDLELACETALK also has tutorials for beginners, and active groups for reticello and aemilia ars.

Margaret Ruhland, a member of needlelacetalk, has recently added a great many close up photos of antique needle laces in her collection. Worth looking at: http://needlelacetalk.ning.com/photo/album/listForOwner?screenName=10ruuhbhzdyhd

Each of her albums is a different piece.

You are SO clever at thinking up original ideas, and then putting them in to practice.

Whatever next?!!!!!!!! :)

See you soon!!! Is there going to be anArachne lunch this year?

It looks to me like puncetto, and Italian needle lace worked in the hand. Look at this album of puncetto photos.

Comment by Maria Chilvers on June 3, 2018 at 9:06am: Hello, Can need information on this lace insert. Not sure if it is crochet or needlelace. Any information would be appreciated. Thank you. Maria

Comment by Lorelei Halley Administrator on October 10, 2016 at 2:44pm: Well, needlelacetalk is up and running again. I did see something about a sale. I will look into that.

Comment by Vicki Myers on October 9, 2016 at 10:35pm: I think I read they are not going ahead with the increase, as ning was being purchase by another company. I could be wrong, I searching tenerife site to see what a 500error was. I hope it comes back soon

Comment by Elizabeth Ligeti on October 9, 2016 at 10:14pm: Oh dear. Adding the site to this one, and closing it down might be too much for this site to contend with. I hope they don't double the fees for here, too!

Needlelace talk has been SO successful that it would be a pity to lose it.

Comment by Lorelei Halley Administrator on October 9, 2016 at 10:05pm: Ning has a way for me to write up a problem report, but I can't even access that now. This has happened before, and it lasted a few hours to a few days. Possibly the weekend has further limited their ability to correct the problem. Coupled with their announced vast increase in their fee, I have to say I am pissed off at them. Once access to their reporting vehicle is again available I intend to point this out. They want a greater than 200% fee increase, and the site is down for 3 days or more ?????
