[lace] Bucks Point laces

[Maureen]

And I would agree with you, Alex's books, both the Geometrical and Floral Bucks 
Point books are ideal for anyone wanting to learn and work Bucks point.  There 
are not only clear pictures of the lace projects which are in both the books, 
there are also clear diagrams and written instructions as well as accurate 
prickings, suggestions on drawing up patterns on different grids, suggestions 
on weights of bobbins threads to use and pins ideal for the lace and 
encouragement to have a go at designing for yourself.  I have worked patterns 
from both the books and even though I have worked Bucks point for years I have 
learnt things from both books.

[lace] Bucks Point laces

[Jane Partridge]

It will be a while before I can afford the new book, unfortunately, but 
in the meantime if anyone decides to have a go at the overlapping gimp 
rings in Chapter 14 of the first book, and hasn't got either the Spring 
2010 Canadian Lacemaker Gazette or Lace No. 141 (January 2011) to refer 
to, please contact me for my diagrams as to how to do them, which differ 
from the two methods that Alex gives in the book. I think my way gives a 
better solution than the way Alex thought I did them, anyway!
