I am saddened to say that there will no longer be any updates to this side of the site
as after 12 years (2005-2017) I am no longer a member of Arachne.
However I am an active member of the lace making community on facebook and can be found on several of the lace groups there. Designing lace on the Lace8 software has become a bit of an obsesion which has spawned the Lace8 Users Group on facebook. Come on over and join us.

Who are Arachne?
