I'm currently having as go at the UK Lace Guild Intermediate Torchon Assessment (taken nearly two years so far for various reasons not connected with lacemaking), and one of the finished items has to be your own design. For the elementary I was told to include sample in different threads for the finished items, so it's essential for your own design. I've got an idea of what thread might suit from the distance between the pinholes, but need to show that I've chosen correctly. So Brenda's book is a must. I choose one thread that's propabably too thin, one that's too thick and a couple of what I think will be suitable. Then work a small sample of the pattern in each to include with the work, and say why I've chosen the one I have. Couldn't do it easily without Brenda's book. An *absolute* must.
