I also borrowed a book about the time I began my first lessons and kept on
borrowing it for many months, about 2 years later I got the chance to buy
an almost new soft back version of the same book and grabbed it. It is
still on my book shelf and I often flick through it. It helped me
understand the working order of working diagrams with numbers on, also how
to work a footside. It is all Torchon, but covers bookmarks, gimps and from
very beginnings of lace to quite complicated designs.
Our library doesn't carry any bobbin lace books at all these days, :-(

Thank you Clay, you've answered a question that has been going round in
my mind for months. I've been trying to remember the name and authors
of the book that made me desperate to try bobbin lace. As soon as I saw
the name 'Kliot' I knew.
I borrowed their 'Bobbin Lace' book from our local mobile library, there
aren't many books you can cram in a van and I'd read everything else
they had in the handicraft line. That was about September 1980, and I
was hooked, I had to have a go. Unfortunately I had to wait nearly 4
years before I was able to get the equipment and actually make lace
rather than dreaming about it, which was very frustrating.
The rest, of course, is history.
I borrowed the book from the library again some years later and found it
strangely uninspiring, I guess I must have moved on by then. But I
still remember the book very fondly.
