Have to chime in here. That photographer is LAZY and can't be bothered
to get the attribution. There's really no excuse in this age of
digital photography when we no longer pay for every frame we shoot.
All he has to do is take a clear photo of a tag or business card or
label.

Hello all,
I was so excited to get this find this past weekend
while browsing through a flea market. We do our usual perusing
through baskets full of lace at our usual haunts hoping to stock our lace
supply for several projects we work on. Occasionally we run across
some really nice samples and
Hello Mark.
Your second lace is not torchon, but guipur lace. The pattern is very
similar to some of the patterns included in the book La guipur du Puy
(France): these S shaped tapes (which are not worked as the tape laces)
filled with a diamond in half stitch, and the foot side, worked with
Nice find, Mark.
I agree with the first one -- Beds. However the second one is not Torchon.
Torchon is worked on a 45 degree grid foundation.
Since it looks like the same scale and thread as the first one, it could be a
Beds variation.I know I've seen some similar patterns in some of
Hello Mark,
nice found, congratulation. The first one is Beds-atyle but the second one is
Guipure not Torchon. Very typical as they made Guipure in Le Puy with the
s-shaped tape and and the diamonds in halfstitch and very typical the foot side.
Thanks for sharing.

I'm tempted to copy your whole email and send it to him. Or maybe just
extract the most important part. I don't want him to feel attacked, as that
will just produce a defensive response, with no movement. I have to think
about a tactful, non-threatening way to say it.

The first one is definitely Bedfordshire and very interesting. I saw black
and initially though LePuy. But the subsidiary trails are definitely Beds
style. Some of the half stitch areas are a bit odd.
Black lace is so difficult to photograph. I've tried it against a red
background and

I agree with Antje about the 2nd one. There is a certain kind of Danish
design which Doris Southard called King Christian, and it has a cloth trail
with a structure similar to this one. I've always wondered where the King
Christian designs came from. Were they part of a general idea
Hi Mark,
2 nice pieces of lace :-) I envy you.
The first does look to be Beds, the second one I think is probably more of
what we think of as Le Puy. I think Fouriscot has several Le Puy books out
and there maybe something vaguely similar in terms of a pattern in there.
Both are plaited

The defining element of the King Christian type of design is the snaking
trail, typically in the shape it has in your lace. The trail is worked in the
Cluny manner, not the Beds manner: pairs enter and pass through the trail,
instead of being stored in the trail. There is usually a cloth or
AH! OK. I have Doris' book and have worked just a bit on this type
of snaking trail effect with my lessons. Will have to look on the
page you referenced. Thanks for the explanations. So fun to
chat and research about all this :)

I agree with others that the first one

geometrical enough.

This is what I value about arachne. Many people add their little bit to the

How do I find a pattern for the lacey Orenburg shawls?
Becca
Did you see the photos of the real Orenburg shawls that my
officemate's grandmother has? They're not the museum pieces that one
finds in books but still, they were interesting to examine closely.
Yes, Avital, I was referring to the medallion shawl in the Gossamer Webs
Design Collection. She warns you up front that it is hard but that once you
truly understand the method of the Russian patterns you can intuit the
rest. I pretty much do understand the method and the patterns and no they
are
The LePuy lessons do have a version of the King Christian design with a
pattern. There were sets of lessons and patterns printed on orange card, and
Lacis used to sell them. But a photo of a similar design appears on page 17

Dear Avital and Cearbhael,
I am enjoying your discussion of the shawls! Please don't take it
private! I think knitted lace is as relevant to this list as tatting or
needle lace, and it is something that I enjoy quite a bit. I completed

Thank you for the information, Alex! Do you have recommendations for fabrics,
please, as something like satin would be too slick, so perhaps a fine
Egyptian
cotton, etc.?
Go by feel rather than name. The fabric needs to be smooth. I use the very
ordinary fine polyester cotton.
