Liz, I bet the honiton horse is beautiful, but my eyesight is not good
enough to work honiton lace. I had huge difficulty seeing to sew the
material to the lace for the hanky. I had to take my spectacles off and
work with the cloth about 6 inches from my face. I could only work about an
inch or two at a time. I now have a magnifying glass on a stand with light
and also the new specs may make that sort of thing easier in the future.
I am glad that Tamara was able to answer the question about where the
pattern came from as I said my teacher supplied it and I really couldn't
remember the name of the book. The finished horse is fitted within a 10
inch x 8 space inside the frame so pretty big, although I expect it could be
reduced and used with finer thread if you wished.

Lovely Lace, Sue. -- Especially that gorgeous Rocking Horse! Where did
you get the pattern, please?
I would Love to make it.
I made the Honiton rocking horse, from the Biggins Honiton Book, - but I
made it in Needlelace, and it looks great. I would love to have a friend
for it!
