ISBN: 1844481085 ISBN-13: 9781844481088 Publisher: Search Press OUR PRICE: $17.96 Product Type: Paperback Published: May 2008 Annotation: 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. |
