Hi All, I haven't seen any answers to Linda's question about learning NL. That was in her e-mail about etui's. That's also the word I use for needle cases. Anyway, I've heard the book that is suggested for learning Needlelace is "Starting Needle- point Lace: A Course for Beginners" by Valerie Grimwood, published by Batsford, ISBN 0-7134-5806-2. I got my copy from www.abebooks.com
NL has been on my "to learn" list for years. Actually just the cordonet really because the stitches are the same as those I use in Battenberg lace. I've had the books but never took the time. Happily I took a class in it last year in Ithaca, NY. I'm in love with it now <G>. I've taught myself a lot of crafts and I could probably have learned it on my own but it is so much easier with a teacher!! Since you're in the UK I'd think you'd have many more options than we do in the US. And it was wonderful to have a teacher for the filling stitches too. It's invaluable to have real samples to touch and a person to ask about them! We do have a wealth of knowledgeable NLers on arachne too so you can ask all your questions!
