Since there's only very few patterns for floral Bucks: will there be a
book by Alex eventually? (... hopes flying high ...). And what is
Part 2 CG?

We can be hopeful on a floral bucks book by Alex... CG is an
examination board in Britain. It actually stands for City and
Guilds. The Part 2 is the second part of the exam!
Hope this helps.

What beautiful work. I expect that made it extra special for the bride.
Well done maybe one day I will be able to produce such work but then again
probably only in my dreams.

Hi Spiders
Well it is me again sorry but since I have found out how to post so many
questions have some into my mind.
As I said in my last posting I am doing my first Milanese pattern I was
looking through my books and was comparing Honiton to Milanese. To my
inexperienced eye they look very
They are very similar, and I have to admit that I can't understand why anyone
that enjoys Honiton should not enjoy Milanese. To me, biased as I am because
Milanese is my teaching 'speciality', the last thing I would describe
Milanese as is boring.
Where in Honiton all the braids are either
Congratulations Annette on a stunning piece of work. Your daughter must be
so proud of you and I am sure that it will be a family heirloom to be worn
for many generations to come.

I am also working a milanese pattern and chose to use coloured threads already
in my box. I did a quick ish look at size against the width of the pattern

Hello Sue
Which size Guetermann silk does Louise Colgan suggest?
If it's the most readily available 100/3 spun silk (ticket S303) then
that is 27 wraps/cm, the same as Venus 70. Special Dentelles 80 is
little bit finer at 30 wraps/cm. The feel of the lace made with Venus
will be different
I'm not a purist with my lace. Guiterman 100/3 is 'sewing thread'
sized thread. I freely mix and match it with my other threads that
came from sewing stores. Medeira is usually found in 30 or 50. One
is a tad bigger and one a tad smaller than the 100/3, but if the
color suits you, use it
As this is the hummingbird I am going to try hanging it from a plaited long
loop so it will hang in my Mums sittingroom along with her other
hummingbirds. As the others are glass on her mirror this one will be the
only one in lace and maybe seem like it is flying or hovering in the air, as

... To my inexperienced eye they look very similar can you tell me
what the difference is as I have seen lovely Honiton patterns that I
want to do but as yet have only learned Milanese and Torchon.
