Dear Tania,
Looks to be a fairly standard torchon lace pattern - spiders, trails (v),
fans and ground. I don't think it would have a special name like some of the
Bucks Point patterns do.
Different interpretations can be made on the same pricking - the trails and
fans can be worked in either half stitch or cloth stitch and the ground
could be worked as cloth stitch & twist - pin - cloth stitch and twist. If
working half stitch in the fan then it is best to work the outside edge pair
in cloth stitch and twist for firmness. The V trails could be worked with
the top half in half stitch and the bottom in cloth stitch.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes from
Andrea Lamble
in a spring like Cambridge, where yesterday the grass was mown for the first
time this year.

Hiya all on this nice spring day in Denmark.
I would like the lists help in identifying the lace I have started on, you
can see a pic in my livejournal http://tania-gru.livejournal.com/
I got the pricking along with the bobbins, which I were really after at a
fleamarket, and being slightly lazy, and not wanting to make another
pricking for my next project decided to use this.
It is coming along pretty well and I have learned a lot from this pattern.
Next one is going to be something with tallies, as I have not really done
that.
