Way back when I first learned to make lace, my first 'solo' project
was a bookmark - a pattern I found in the English magazine "Popular
Crafts". The Torchon pattern featured alternate diamonds of whole
stitch and 12-legged spiders, and the comprehensive instructions
filled several pages.
I still have the pricking, and the lovely bookmark that I made, but I
sadly lent the magazine pages to someone else learning to make
lace... and these clear instructions have never been returned. I
noted the magazine title on the pricking, but not the thread details,
and have forgotten who took away the pages.
Now I wonder, as I look at the gap in my 'samples' folder, if anyone
else kept this pattern? and if so, would it be possible to obtain
photocopies of the pages, or even [hope!] the pages themselves?
I would gladly exchange a pair of Midland bobbins made from a New
Zealand wood, for the pages... or would pay for the photocopies, if
anyone can help.
My sincere thanks, in anticipation -

assert itself, but we are still 'enjoying' spring rains - and the
occasional aftershock from the earthquakes last, and earlier this, year...
