> Dyer, A. Copper wire lace. Denver, CO: Point Ground, 1995. > Good book, with lots of ideas. Includes Ann's take on cloth stitch, which she works by lifting alternate passives and laying one worker across, then replacing passives and lifting the others before laying the second working in the other 'shed'. It looks more like warp face weaving (which is what it is) rather than cloth stitch, but gives a successful alternative to half stitch. The only thing I don't like about her method of working is that she doesn't use bobbins at all. I prefer to have a handle on the end of the wire. I made a sample brooch with her at a Lace Guild workshop a few years ago and found it physically difficult doing the above described technique in particular (even though I understood exactly what I was *trying* to do) as it was very tricky to keep the short curly ends in the right order as they were laid back and returned.
