Thank you Maria. I am also using Ghislaineâs book and I am puzzled by the way she takes the sewings. Looking at the pictures on pages 30 and 31 they appear to be same as the edge sewings we use when making Honiton, however the diagrams pages 34-35 show her taking one thread from the pair approaching the edge and one from the pair leaving the edge, very difficult to separate the two threads of a pair and I wonder why, Jan does not show this method. I was interested in Janâs book because it seems to have more techniques in it and I will now get Judithâs books.
Blow the dust, letâs make lace Alex From: Maria Greil Sent: Tuesday, August 1, 2017 4:13 PM To: Alex Stillwell Cc: Arachne questions Subject: Re: [lace] Rosaline Hello Alex, I agree with Bev. There are other books writen in English which are as good as Jan Geelen's. I myself in Europe try to buy bobbin lace books at Barbara Fay Verlag when available. They do not charge post fees to Europe and I do not know how it works all over the world, but I think it is worthwhile asking. I have checked and they have the two books by Judith Cordell: Rosaline Perle and Rosaline Perle 2 ( http://www.barbara-fay.com/index.php/en/component/virtuemart/bobbin-lace/rosa lie-eng?Itemid=0 ). I hope this information helps you.

One of my student wishes to learn Rosaline. I have a sound knowledge of Honiton but need to understand the differences between it and Rosaline. We both have âRosaline Perlee by J Geeln 1990â but cannot read it. Has anyone a translation of the instructions of the first few patterns and the accompanying descriptions earlier in the book? I could make a guess as to how to make the patterns but Jan goes into a lot of details and I might misinterpret some of them.
