Thanks to all who answered/explained. It does make more sense once you
know why there is a difference. I will try the different way of doing
things, at least while I am working through this book. In the meantime
I've also learned about a few other books on Chantilly lace. Books on
Chantilly lace seem to be scarce, and even Lia's book is now out of
print. I am in the process of ordering one out of Holland, and will
order the other one from I think our only lace stuff supplier in Canada
(that I know of) Trillium lace.
Lace books sure seem to go out of print rather quickly, and since they
are sooooo expensive, it becomes hard to buy them before they disappear
from the market. Like, I just realized that Devon trolly lace is another
point ground type lace, and I'd like to try them all, I see now that the
first book is already out of print... i just can't keep up.
Achim, the temperatures here are very high as well, we've had 39-41 C a
week ago, which is 10-15 degrees above normal, and it's getting up there
again this weekend. We usually don't get those temperatures until
sometime in August. And it has been super dry the last few months, the
drought in California is spreading northward, so forest fires are
proliferating, specially with people being stupid enough to throw
burning cigarette butts out of car windows. And we've had quite a few
thunderstorms as well, which bring lightning, and yes rain, sometimes
excessive, but because the ground is so dry, it causes flooding and
disappears very quickly after doing a lot of damage.
