Hi fellow Arachnids, Although I agree with Sally on several points, I.e. that Mary Niven did a wonderful job of designing as well as providing us with a useful book at a time when there were not as many books available as there are now. Also, that we should always acknowledge designers and makers by name. However, this is a photo on the net and not in the book near the pricking and working diagram where it needs to be. I think it is the only pattern in the book that lacks a photo. Otherwise the book is an excellent resource for patterns in Flanders lace where the pricking, working diagram and photograph are kept as close as is possible within the constraints of the book format.

One person said there was a working diagram but no photo. There is a photo of this, worked by the late Bart Elwell of Tulsa, Oklahoma, here: http://lacemakersoklahoma.weebly.com/photos.html As a side note, let me say I am grateful to Mary Niven, the designer, for calling me out (scolding me gently) when I, as the webmaster for the above website, failed initially to label the photo with the name of the pattern designer. All of us who post photos in public places should try to credit the pattern designers when possible. (Speaking to self!) I hope the photo will help those who want to make this pretty edging!
