I can't resist: go to
<http://www.cs.arizona.edu/patterns/weaving/illustrations/pt_nlp.pdf
> and you will see the needle lace pillow I made after visiting the
lacemaking group in Venice a few years ago. This should give you an
idea of what it looks like and from that how to put it all together.
It sits on your lap while you work.
Also, I have just been scanning the Italian version of the DMC needle
lace book. It will appear on the site under This Month, but wait a
bit: it is still being processed by John Cropper, our loyal computer
expert. You can find other copies of the same book in French and
English as well. Go to:
<www.cs.arizona.edu/patterns/weaving/books/dmc_lace_1.pdf
> (English)
<http://www.cs.arizona.edu/patterns/weaving/books/dmc_ldal-1.pdf
> (French)
For those newbies who may not know about the Archives site, go to
<http://www.cs.arizona.edu/patterns/weaving/
> and be prepared for a feast! You can search for something
specific, check out the newest additions, and find a wealth of old
books (pre-1923) that have been scanned and posted on the site.
"Topics" will give you an idea of the subjects covered, and there are
probably more perhaps not listed that way. This collection is in
large part due to the many people who have lent their own precious
books and documents and allowed them to be scanned and thus saved for
posterity. If you have any that should be in the collection and which
you want to lend for the site, we would be happy to hear from you.
Enjoy!
