Those skills are enough, or at least they were for me. I started with the Torchon Lace Workbook, did 9 of the 10 basic exercises and then moved on to Bedfordshire using Barbara Underwood's book. Like you I didn't get on with Pamela Nottingham books, they don't fit my learning style. There is a little difference between us though - I was in a hurry and got to Bedfordshire in about week 3 of my lace career. -- Patience ... a minor form of despair, disguised as a virtue. - Ambrose Bierce Steph Peters, Manchester, England [EMAIL PROTECTED] Scanned by WinProxy http://www.Ositis.com/ - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
