To?the uninitiated, a?lace pillow set up with dozens of bobbins looks very complicated, but?this manual shows the simplicity of the basic moves: only four bobbins are in use at any one time, and there are only two moves-twist and cross. Focusing on Torchon lacemaking techniques-Bruges and?Chantilly lace are two other well-known traditions-these lessons begin with?small lace bookmarks worked in?various designs before progressing to full-scale?projects: a purse, a bag,?a cushion, and?two scarves. All are presented with step-by-step instructions, close-up?photos, and?a complete set of pricking patterns. Additional material?covers techniques for adding?beads and tassels and?working with such unconventional materials as?wire, cable, and thick wool yarn.
