After waiting for 6 weeks for my new book (Introduction to Milanese Lace) to
arrive and this morning I got an email saying there was a delay of another
couple of weeks. Does anyone know where I might find a copy of this to buy?
I have never heard of the difference either and have enjoyed reading you
emails everyone.
I find that when I read bits in the books I have, even 3 or 4 years after I
origianlly bought the book or started working the lace that little
techniques or explanations for a stitch become even clearer to me. I have
done a few little bits of pin chain stitch recently and then was reading on
a different pattern and it was then explained to me again, and I did the
slight change and it works:-)
In the early months I found it very confusing knowing when to twist at the
end of the row and when not, but eventually got the information to stick:-)
.
Still learning, still enjoying working the lace and enjoy the finished
pieces to pass on to friends or adorn my wall. (which is now full).

I never heard of the difference between "Z" and "S" either until I read
Martina Wolter-Kampmann's book on threads. It is fascinating, and explains
*why* it helps to change the hitch on those misbehaving bobbins. ;) As I
said to Jenny about terminology, I tend to just "do it" and put a name to
it later... with threads, I just find a solution and go with it! But
Martina's book takes the mystery out of it.
As a handy tool to help me find the right thread for the project, however,
I prefer Brenda's (Paternoster) book, both for the way it's organized, and
for the fact that she covers so many modern threads and constantly adds
more via her website. (THANKS, Brenda!!)
