My understanding had always been that knots in the net meant the piece was entirely hand-made. That is, that's what I thought until about 15 minutes ago... :)
So this is interesting. Everyone seems to agree about the knotted netting (toy boat) although apparently it may not be the easiest thing to ID. Thanks for all the help with these knotty questions! :->
Please reserve a copy for me, in case I'm a-gallivantin' in Europe when it comes out, and don't see the announcement.
Oh, you'll see it. :->
I first read some of it, years ago and in installments, in the "Lace Net" (the newsletter of the Rocky Mountains Lace Guild), and was riveted. And giggled my way through... To say that the writing was *bad* is an understatement; the whole thing (language and ideas) are so "ghotic", I thought at first it was a spoof (Penny Boston was the President of the Guild at the time, and her sense of humour is just wacky enough <g>). Then Clay got hold of a copy of the (original) book, lent it to me, and I was as entertained as I had been the first time.
Yes, it's a delightful read. Funny (without meaning to be), highly romantic, with lace references! A really good piece of melodrama. What more could one want from a novel?
To have a copy of my own has long been my ambition; to own one with editorial commentary compiled by lacemakers, "straightenig things out" will be sheer bliss...
I hope it lives up to people's expectations! Now I'm getting nervous! :->
Vasna Zago If you can't be a good example, you'll just have to be a horrible warning.
