Yes! You are correct. It was Knyppling. I couldn’t remember what it was,
even though I picked up a copy at an estate sale fairly recently.

Dear Devon,
 
Perhaps the book to which you refer was Knyppling, 1964, published (in
Swedish) by LTs Forlag in collaboration with the Swedish Lace-Making
Association.  Author was Sally Johanson.
 
It was re-published with the title of Traditional Lace Making in 1974 in the
U.S. in English by Van Nostrand Reinhold; translators were E. and T.W.
Summers.  ISBN: 0-442-30037-9.
 
Sally Johanson was one of the founders of OIDFA, and one of its first
Presidents.

when I took bobbin lace in the 1970s I asked my
teacher if there was a book I could use and the only one she could offer was
in a Scandinavian language. Although she felt it was better than nothing
because of the photos, I was not really smart enough to be able to take
advantage of it.   Devon
