[lace] Fwd: The Urchins

Back in January, Devon Thein posted a request for help crocheting sea urchins for an installation in Singapore, which eventually included over 32 miles of 3mm nylon rope. I made 3 repeats, which doesn't sound like much, but they were hard work, not least because the rope they sent us to use was

As Clare says, the Lace Guild has boxes and boxes of secondhand books donated by those clearing out after the death of a loved one. We also see them in lace groups. Most of us have already got the books we want, as well as ones we just desire. I've recently decided to save my relatives the task

I have also bought many books that way: the Lace Guild or private lacemakers. And there is also a good Facebook Page (for hose who are on Facebook), which is called Bobbin Lace Market ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/Bobbinlacemarket/). I have just bought the book of Russian Lace by Bridget Cook

Re: [lace] instructions

I also think the way people learn to make lace is an issue. I learned in England and was given a pricking and taught to look at the original lace / photo of lace and see what stitches were worked at each pinhole, and also taught how to start and finish in various ways. Written instructions and
