[lace] Book by Ulrike Lohr
I wonder if anybody could give me the name of a book. It is a book by Ulrike Lohr and it is about a lace she discovered that was only made around one town in France. It is a point ground lace with delicate motifs surrounded by a prominent gimp. The book's title is the name of the lace and as far as I can remember it stats with Bal.!

[lace] Lace Alphabet?
I'm sorry but I don't have up-to-the-minute info on where to get hold of my book Alphabet Inspirations in Coloured Bobbin Lace ...but I can tell you that each letter is worked in bobbin lace and has two different ways of working it, with detailed pin by pin instructions for each version. (I do not use pre-made tapes, or variegated threads, in any of my patterns.) In the book, one version uses Milanese Braids and the other version uses basic lacemaking stitches i.e. Cloth stitch, Halfstitch and Cloth stitch & twist. Both versions use the same set of colours, each set of 7 colours is interchangeable with those suggested for all the other letters.The colours are selected to describe the form the letter takes. I did produce at least one spin-off pattern from each letter, but unfortunately there wasn't enough room to include them all. The bonus with that book in particular, is that there is a detailed chapter on the colour techniques that I'd devised in order to work using colour for bobbin lace in a painterly way. Although, since writing the book in 2004, I have devised many more. My website, also featuring new work and containing a hopefully interesting, and informative, monthly blog may be found at: www.sandiwoods.com I can also be contacted by email at: tosandowo...@gmail.com I hope this info helps!

[lace] Tape lace alphabet
The French book by Michelle Andrieu has two embroidered and one lace alphabet. The lace alphabet, shich is the first, is in 'éternelle', whole stitch and leaf tallies. Only four pairs, qick and effective. There is also Pat read's Celtic alphabet. And at dentellièresfrancheville.blogspot;com there are the first numbers (but not tape lace, though I suppose you could use a Milanese braid...)
