Re: [lace] continueing on with Miss Channer discussion...how about other....
I also have one of Alex Stillwells books which goes through stages of explanation and pattern building, reading, understanding. It is a lovely book and if I had more time to spend on Bucks I would have achieved several masterpieces by now:-) I have achieved some pretty minor pieces though.

I can second (third?) the praise for Alex Stillwell's books on Bucks, but I want to be sure that it is clear, in answer to the original query, that there are two books, the first on Geometric Bucks Point and a second on Floral Bucks. The second builds on the first, so you need to get the first book at least. The best place to get them is http://alexstillwell.wordpress.com/books/ -- she accepts PayPal so it is easy to place an order from outside the UK. (Usual disclaimer: no connection--just a satisfied customer.) My comment on those two books is that they are among the most detailed, thorough, and clear expositions of how to make a type of lace of any I have ever seen, not just among Bucks books but of any type of lace (they are definitely the best on Bucks that I know of). I've been doing a lot of overtime at work, but as soon as things calm down some, I plan to continue from the beginning of the Geometric Bucks book (even though I have done some Floral Bucks already) and work my way through both of them--New Year's resolution! I can't say enough good things about these books. (I guess you can tell I like them, huh? :-) Happy lacemaking to all in the New Year!

RE: [lace] continueing on with Miss Channer discussion...how about other....
I agree the two books on Bucks Point lace by Alex Stillwell are the best books to learn form. They are so well organised that it is possible to work the patterns without a teacher - although a teacher does help. You do need the Geometric Book as well as the Floral Book as the Floral book does refer to the first book. I have enjoyed lots of the pattern from the first book and look forward to txrying the patterns in the Floral Book this year.

RE: [lace] continueing on with Miss Channer discussion...how about other....
On that same note, how about some book reviews on Bucks or other point ground books? I am looking for more intermediate to advanced instruction, I know the basics, and can follow charts if they have a thread path diagram with it, but is there anything out there that will teach you how to read just a pricking? I have the Grammar of Point ground, and am reading through it, and will in the next week or so probably start on doing some of the practise pieces, but am wondering what else is out there.
