Yes! Yes! I agree... let's DO talk about Michael Giusiana's wonderful Binche books!! I've been working a handkerchief edging in "Binche - Around the Corner" since June and am about to go around my third corner!! I am totally smitten with Binche, and find these laces to be, as someone said about Bedfordshire laces, "the thinking woman's lace".
I do think that appreciation of Binche is an acquired taste. I can remember a couple of years ago looking at it and thinking it was too "busy" to be pretty. Now I see it completely differently, and just love it. Old Binche, new Binche... Soooo pretty and such a fun lace to work. Clay ----- Original Message ----- From: "Aurelia L.
