[lace] re Question

[Elizabeth Ligeti.]

Being English/Aussie, I use the word Plait (or occasionally Leg – just to
confuse things further!!) for the 2 pair ct,ct,ct section,

 And Braid, - to me – is a wider piece with more passive pairs, and one pair
of workers going backwards and forwards -, as in Tape lace.

Lacemaking, having sprung up in so many different places, and people not
travelling around like we do today, has brought about lots of confusing bits
like this.  It all adds to the fascination of Lacemaking, I suppose!!
Look at – Workers, walkers weavers, leaders and runners! – 5 terms for the
same thing!

Regards from Liz, in chilly, damp, Melbourne, Oz.

[lace] Prickings for patterns from 44-year-old book?

[Sally Jenkins]

Greetings all,

I've found some very nice photos of finished lace in a book written in 1973
in Swedish, called Knypplerskan, by Inga-Lisa Olsson. Our guild library has
volumes 1, 2, & 3. There is an English translation tucked in each volume
too. In the back there is a "list of the patterns which can be purchased
for the illustrated laces in this book." But no idea how to go about that.
I found some e-books online, which I've never dealt with before, and I
don't know if they are just the books (which I have at hand), or if they
would also contain the patterns.

Any ideas?

Thank you,
Sally in Oregon where it is supposed to be in the mid-90's Fahrenheit
tomorrow
