Thank you, Jacquie in Lincolnshire. After I sent the email, I googled my question, and came up with an arachne thread from 2004, where someone was giving a talk on the subject, and listed all of the books she knew of with information on the subject. I have one of them, but I much prefer a variety of instructions, as then I have the most choices, and the best combined explanations for my feeble brain.
I am quite sure the internet has expanded lacemaking geometrically, simply because the resources are so easy to come by. Neither of my two major lace suppliers have the book, I would go to them first simply to support their business, nor does Amazon.com, BUT amazon.co.uk had a used copy for what I consider a relatively reasonable cost for a lace book, and I have ordered it there. I am a sucker for books, especially lace books, which tend to disappear after a while. No need to write for a catalog, and hope the place is still in business, or go to used bookstores in major cities hoping they had what I wanted, which wouldn't be so in the US, simply because of the dearth of lacemakers. Lyn in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, US, where it is a beautiful but cold morning, 12F, -10C, and hoping our New Zealand lacemakers are ok. I assume there are New Zealand lacemakers as well as Australian? -----Original Message----- >From: laceandb...@aol.com >Sent: Feb 23, 2011 4:02 AM >To: lace@arachne.com >Subject: Re: [lace] Finishing a handkerchief > >Find a copy of Mounting and Using Lace, by Jean Withers.
