oh my - I don't think there is a basis to learning Torchon 'first' - it is a methodical, geometric lace full of surprises. I'm still learning it after a decade or so. The first BL lessons I took were in the Cluny style. I then embarked on a brief learning session with Honiton. I didn't know about the Torchon grid or point ground until much later.
