Thanks, Tamara. Yes I certainly do have the Cook book! Once I got the translation, I was able to look it up. I decided that the Princess Stitch referred to the Venetian cord, with one worker ,(in Cook), and the thicker Venetian stitch referred to the Grand Venetian,with 2 workers, so that will most probably be how I make it. Venetian cords are not very common in lace, but they do look nice, if properly worked. That will be something to work on next year (along with everything else!!) I will put a footside on it, not work it onto fabric, as I think has been done in the book.
I will take this opportunity to wish you all a Happy Festive Season, and a happy and safe New Year. We are off on holiday at the weekend, for a month, and I look forward to catching up with you all next year (doesn't that sound aweful?!!! ) Thank you all for your help, and friendship during 2003. Stay well, and stay safe. from Liz in Melbourne, Oz, [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
