-----The child involved is about 10. Are there books out there for children her age? Or are there books out there with patterns in them that have appealed to other children her age that you folks know?
Someone's already mentioned Christine Springett's books. Her first is "Lace for Children of All Ages"; enough said? There are a couple of books on Schneeberger. It's a relatively easy lace and the patterns include simple flowers, small animals, etc. that would appeal to kids. Lia Baumeister-Jonker wrote one book, can't remember the author of the other. There are also a couple of (Swedish?) books by Fagerlin (and another author, but I can't remember who) that have relatively simple animal and flower motifs. Idrija is another lace with lots of simple/fun motifs. The lace schools in Idrija have designing as part of their curriculum and even the youngish kids do it so there are nice, kid-friendly pieces available. Robin P.
