Thank you David,
Have scanned and printed the pattern at 140 % which is much larger than I
expected it to be but will certainly be easier to work than the original
size, <g>. While I was there I copied it at several different sizes to see
what they looked like. One of them I will pencil in some guide lines to
help me see what I need to do. Now to decide what colour to use:-) I have
a few silks but not too many colours, so far when I can see and choose
thread they seem to have a limited number of pretty colours. If it turns
out well I will post to arachne photos section.
As a side issue I have just completed a bauble cover using the lace guild
pattern (or part of it) 4 fingers of white lace with gold beads in over a
blue bauble. I think our daughter will like it:-) When I get a decent
photo of it I will upload it to my folder on arachne. Bobbins ready to
begin Eves last year pattern from the Poole Lace Circle, of bauble cover for
a friend. Green thread over a silver bauble.
A few weeks ago I couldn't get lacing because I had no inspiration after so
many weeks away from it, I went looking through my books and folders of
patterns and now have several lined up, need to get going.

Dear Sue,
I have just found a nice little motif pattern I want to make for my Mum
and the pattern quotes madeira tanne 50 (which is 39 wraps and is 2Z) in
Brenda's book. I want to use my gutterman silk which says
In other words the pricking needs to be almost half as wide and high again
as it is right now. Look forward to hearing the result.
