Saved my pennies and splurged on a wonderful book called DIE LETZTEN IHRER ART. It's about types of laces made in the former Sudetenland after the war, and it's a beautiful book!!!!
The style of the lace in the book, to me, looks like a cross between Idrija and Lepoglava laces.the winding cloth stitch of the Idrija which suddenly blossoms into the half-stitch shading of the Lepoglava laces. It was pricey, but I figured there are about 80 patterns in the book, and it works out to about $1 per pattern. [Blatant rationalization] My time to make lace has been severely limited of late. I've decided to concentrate on tape laces.easily portable, and not a lot of bobbins to keep track of. Just wish there were more hours in the day. SIGH!!!!
