Be warned, he uses the same photo every time he lists bobbins, and you don't
necessarily get the same assortment as in the photo. You do get 10 assorted
antique French bobbins, and the photo is representative of the shapes and

I'd ask the framer to use non-reflective glass too. (I've never framed lace,
but that's what I used in pre-BL days for cross stitch). It cuts out some of

I'm sure I must have the best husband in the world! He built a

Due to the weather, I have time to spare, so have got out the book, and
carefully noted your points.
Basically, it depends on the number of pairs you have in the headside, and

pleasing appearance for a wider headside.

Hi Vicki and lace list
The squiggly line on E-L's patterns means twists - if you look at the
photograph, there are twists in some of those half-stitch areas, and no
twists in one of them. Leave them out if you'd rather.
It also looks like the end bit of those h/s areas is done in CTC, to keep

Perhaps we should put a 'spoiler warning' in the subject line (like they
