Hello everyone! My parents just came back from a trip to Slovenia (to see the homeland of my father's grandparents) and they sent me a couple books they picked up after I told them of my new hobby interest. They got to visit the Idrija Lacemaking School, lucky dogs! ;-)
So the books are 1) "Conserving and Progress of hand-made bobbin lace in Slovak and European region" published privately for the school and includes 21 patterns of traditional Slovenian lace including a baby bootie. There is no author listed and the text is in Slovenian and English side-by-side. 2) "Idrija Lace, Patterns from the Idrija School of Lace in Slovenia" by Bridget M. Cook and Metka Tratnik. It too is full of patterns from 5 pair to many, many pair. Is anyone here familiar with either of these book? I am so happy to have them but I am frustrated not to have my equipment yet <stupid new car> and not able to start. Ah well I can be patient and keep knitting <grin>. Thanks for listening to me brag shamelessly!
