Hello Nancy and all,
My name is Joanne Scowcroft and I am Australian. I have to confess to
lurking for a couple of weeks. You all sound so knowledgeable that I am not
sure I will have much to contribute. I have been a lace-making supplier in
Australia for 3 1/2 years.
Nancy - a very good book for learning is Rosemary Shepherd's Introduction to
Bobbin Lacemaking. It is very popular here. I taught myself from the book
before finding a nearby lace group. I know lots of people who have taught
themselves from this book and I use this book as a teaching resource.
I hope this is helpful to you.
Best wishes,
Joanne

As a relatively newcomer to lace I have been buying lace books as and when
I
can afford it. I have at the moment The Book of Bobbin Lace Stitches by
Cook
& Stott and have just bought Practical Skills in Bobbin Lace by Cook. I
have
just noticed another one called Introduction to Bobbin Lace Stitches by
Cook &
Stott at a reasonable price. Is it worth getting this book or will it
just be
duplicating the rest? Would it be better for a newbie?
Thanks in advance
