I have to agree with you, Robin! And, I agree with you about Binche... or at least, I did two years ago! Then, I discovered Catherine's "Olive Branches", and decided to learn more about Binche. I discovered that making Binche is way more fun for me than any other lace I've ever done... it is such a challenge to learn all the new "things" at first, and then it really keeps your attention because it's so complex. I really don't much care for some of the really old "congested" stuff... just too busy to be able to discern a nice pattern. But in order to enjoy doing the new stuff, I've learned to do the old, and in so doing, have come to appreciate *some* of the older stuff a lot more. So warning... don't try "baby Binche" to prepare yourself for "Olive Branches" unless you're ready for the long haul... because you'll be hooked!! ; )
