How cute. I have found that www.half.com has several 0f these books at a
good price.
Patricia....do you have such a thing as a crochet cotton, called bedspread
cotton (any brand). Actually any size 10 crochet cotton is what I use. You
can see it here

If I can be if help ordering let me know.
Oh, yes, I just ordered the book. I have made clothespin dolls for tatters
and BL'ers. Same idea for the pillows and bobbins. (Also made tatting
shuttles out of thin wood!)
I am thinking that some done in knit, crocket and tatting would be
cute.....endless ideas there.
Thank you for sharing your darling angel with us. Giggle-giggle Just we
all need another idea for our 'to-do' lists. (VBG)

Subject: [lace] New(ish) book and a question
this morning I collected a book I had ordered after seeing a small
photograph
of the front cover and, fortunately, I am not disappointed. It is new to me
although it was published in 2002. It is: Angels: a knitter's dozen by
Gerdine Strong, published by XRX Books, 2002. 1-893762-12-2. 13.99 GBP.
The
patterns are mostly for standing angels (which can also be hung) with ball
shaped
dresses in different lace knitting designs, many of which are named. They
are
all indulging in a textile craft - knitting, crocheting, ball winding and
skein holding (these two go together).rug hooking, spinning, weaving,
embroidering
and quilting. The last two are tree top angels doing nothing and there are
instructions on how to turn three of the skirt patterns into bells. The
originals were made holding musical instruments and the author says it is
probablt
possible to find props in craft shops to produce all kinds of activities -
golf
is the one she talks about.
The instructions are given in the usual words/abbreviations and in charts
and
there are general instructions also included. The yarn given is Coats &
Clark
Knit-Cro-Sheen - a North american name. They are knitted on 2.25mm needles.
Given the paucity of good knitting/yarn shops in my area I have no idea
where to start looking - or what to look for. Can anyone tell me what the
equilavent yarn is in the UK? This name is not in the cotton section of
Brenda's
book.
