Hi Christiane, To quote Alice...
Jenny started last year with nothing but the list for advice, and she has done alot in one year. Jenny... maybe you can tell Christiane some hints to get her started. Hints to total beginners 1. Have a go - with whatever tools you can get your hands on 2. Google is your friend - try searching with words like "bobbin lace tutorial" "Rosemary Shepherd" (or any other well known lace makers name) this will bring up http://www.lacedaisypress.com.au/ "torchon lace" (or any other variation of lace you like) "lace making" Make sure you use the " as this tells Google to look for the phrase rather than the individual words anywhere on the page 3. Ask, ask and ask some more - the only silly question is the one you did not ask 4. Check out the following sites as they have a wealth of info Lacefairy This site is in need of a good sortout but has the most interesting information http://lace.lacefairy.com/ Jo Edkins Lace School This has free lessons and animated pictures demonstrating the stitches and was an absolute blessing for me when I found it http://www.gwydir.demon.co.uk/jo/lace/ If you can read French the I thing this site would be a find http://perso.wanadoo.fr/dentelle.fuseau/ especially the "Trucs et astuces" I have jsut looked at the pictures :) and to blow my own horn - see what I have managed to learn in 12 months at http://www.brandis.com.au/craft/lace.html Give me an email if you think I can help.
