Craft Lace Masterpieces One Step at a Time Here is the perfect book for the beginning lace maker. The Torchon Lace Workbook presents the basics, step by step, followed by patterns which employ these new skills. Bridget Cook expertly guides the reader through the basic techniques of Torchon lace, a style which is accessible and rewarding to all levels of ability. Color photos of bobbins, pillows, and finished lace enhance the clearly written instructions, along with easy-to-understand color-coded diagrams. Exercises include employing the half stitch, whole stitch, diamonds, spiders, rosegrounds, Scandinavian holes, gimps, tallies, leaves, plaits, and picots. Projects go from nursery lace to collars, from frills to handkerchiefs. Ten comprehensive lessons on technique will prepare you for 27 original projects which use them. The projects graduate from basic to more complex, but whether a novice or a seasoned craftsperson, this well-presented compendium belongs in your collection.
