The Louise Colgan Milanese DVD is a training lesson on
how to do Milanese lace. The pattern worked in the
video (and comes with it) is the Hummingbird. It is
the only pattern on the video. However, the

This has been a fairly productive (for me) year so far. When I said my New

the pattern that's on there (a small Beds round thing) is almost
