I am intrigued to find a lot of older knitted lace patterns reinvented
bobbin lace patterns. However I think I'd like to come up with a
completely different lace in knitting -

Hi Bev,
I was looking at some really classic German lace knit patterns and was
struck by their similarity to Binche. The grounds, the motifs in plain
knitting. Also, it was not until I had been steeped in lace for quite some
time that I finally solved the mystery (to my own satisfaction) of where
crochet lace patterns came from. A lot of the lacier crochet is definitely
guipure if not Cluny. Of course Dillmont has a terrific crochet replica of
Reticella which I made one New Year's Eve when I was too sick to go out.
