Several months ago, we held a brief Arachne discussion of lace making in Brittany. The technique is Picot Bigouden & it is a crocheted lace that was developed from Irish crochet during the period of the sardine famine. Check the Arachne archives for book & online references. There are some motifs & stitches that are specific to Brittany. The coifs are Picot B & there is a YouTube. At the time, I didn't find any connections with bobbin lace but I am not an expert! I was looking because a friend wants to travel to Brittany & learn to make lace. If you find bobbin lace there, please share the info! Many thanks. Sincerely, Susan Hottle, Palm Beach Gardens, FL USA
