I received a flyer from Barbara Fay which has details of a new Cantilly lace
book "Schwarzarbeit - Band 2" (I assume it means book 2). Says it does not
presuppose knowledge of the first book, and that it has 69 different
patterns, each accompanied by illustrations, working diagrams, the lace
pricking and notes for the lace-maker.
But then it goes on to say "Although you can't help wanting to start making
the lace straight away, there is a little problem: an essential section on
techniques had to be taken out and is to appear next year as a separate
book. So we must have a little patience. But at least we can enjoy looking
at the patterns now."
I find that confusing - if the illustrations, working diagrams, pricking and
notes are included, what's had to be left out? My assumption is that it's
the history and techniques bit which is at the front of the first book
(which I already have).
It's probably unlikely that I'll ever make Chantilly, but the first book is
wonderful eye candy so I'll be ordering this one as well today - returning
to the subject of postage Barbara Fay doesn't charge for surface mail
postage within Europe, and only Euro 5.00 worldwide by bookpost airmail.
For those interested, the book is listed on Barbara Fay web site (you have
to scroll down to the bottom half of the page):
