The 's Gravenmoerse lace is not Torchon. People get that impression because it is on a 45 degree grid, like Torchon, but it really is a Point Ground lace with very distinctive features. It was used for the lace on caps by the ladies who didn't have Beveren lace, for either regional or money reasons. There's at least three main books out, two of which should be available. One was just reprinted. There's also some specialty books -- like bookmarks and jewelry. Must go to lace meeting so can't go into any details. It's a fun lace to make. I have a project in process right now. Happy lacing, Alice in Oregon -- with a clear day for lace meeting - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
