Yes, Diana, you are correct. It was done in 2002 by Rita Thienpondt,
and the title was "De sierlijkheid van de Mechelse kant".
One of the reasons that this lace is so difficult is that the ground is
a braided ground, and is worked without supporting pins! The pins are
used only around the motifs. The lace is quite lovely, but very
difficult to execute because of the groundwork.

I'm sure someone produced a folder a few years ago, of instructions
and patterns for Mechelen Lace very much like the Binche syllabus ones.
I had a copy but sold it in eBay when I was having a sort out of my
book shelves :o(
