If you want to have a go at the laces worked in sections (someone remind me of the correct term for this - my brain seems to be taking Saturday morning off...), why not try Brugges Bloemwerk (Brugges Flower Lace) before Milanese or Honiton - the techniques are similar, but it's worked with thicker thread which makes it easier to see what you are doing when learning sewings and so forth.
(I can't really claim credit for this - one of our lace class wanted to try Honiton a couple of weeks back and our teacher has started her off with a really pretty Bloemwerk mat/motif) Beth In a horribly wet and windy Cheshire, NW England.
