Here's a YouTube video link that shows The Scaffold singing the song! I actually had not heard of them because I was born in the 60's! LOL! Thanks for mentioning that song, it was "educational"!
I also edited my blog to include this information! Who knew that one little shuttle had such a history! Here I thought I was getting a shuttle with a wholesome message because it said "Vegetable Compound"! LOL!

- Dear Katherine,
Thank you so much for answering my message. What I am looking for is really something very basic, for beginners. I have written to the group of Lacemakers from the town where this lace originates and they told me that is passed on from one generation to the next and that the "patterns" where not on paper....but on tablecloths, and other pieces of work. Would you know how I could order a copy of the book that you mentioned? Thank you again for your help.
Bro. François

Karen W. Gronau said… - Update: I got both blackwork pattern books and have been practicing it. I made several bookmarks and just finished two animals. I made a teddy bear in brown with a light green bow as a baby shower gift and a blackwork koala bear that still needs the baby's name and birthdate but it hasn't been born yet so... Once I know the name etc. I'll finish it and add a blue or pink bow depending...I plan to frame it in black. I posted pictures if you'd like to see them. Thank you again for recommending the books to me. They have been and will continue to be helpful.

- Thanks for the blackwork pattern book ideas. I was able to order both from Amazon. Now, I have to patiently await their arrival. :-)

I do understand about doing so many different things all at once. Some day.

Its me again. I just looked at your blog and much enjoyed seeing your tatting since January. The variegated threads you use make the piece so interesting. One of your photos has Beds bobbin lace plus 3 tatted bits. I really like the pattern on the one that is shades of blue, sort of wavy. You mentioned problems scanning lace. I actually prefer the scanner for small pieces: at least I know everything will be in focus. Try fiddling with "highlights" and intensifying color. I also use "increase midtones" or "increase shadows". What those commands in a photo modification program seem to do is increase or decrease the number of black dots sprayed on the paper or added to the screen image. Or increase the number of color dots, or reduce the amount of empty space (which shows as white). Most of the images I post have these kinds of corrections, which I add to increase visibility of structual elements, so viewers can see each individual thread.
I think it is time for me to stop talking. I get long winded sometimes.
