Hi Carol I don't suppose that this is going to be much help to your friend but I'm sure that there is a pattern for a windmill in one of Veronica Sorensen's books. Definitely not the Bruges flower lace, but one of the others, I can't remember which and am at work at the moment so can't check.

Good luck with your Incy Wincy Spider, Nancy Support pins are pins set back a little way from the first row of stitches - you hang the pairs on support pins while you work the first pinhole(s) using those pairs, then take the support pins out and tension gently to get the threads neatly round
