There are different types of authors. On one extreme you have those who are almost religious in doing things the traditional way. Other authors rather think "have fun" and only give the details because they know many lacemakers get nervous because when they don't have exact details. But they would rather just inspire. So usually you can't tell from a book or pattern what the intentions of the author are. For the second type I'me 100% sure about Sebastiana van den Herik, 95% sure about Corrie v.d. Sluis and 90% about sure about Julie v.d. Wolf. All three are definitly not lace police types. But I'm 70% sure there are also 's Gravenmoers designers of the first type, but these I don't know personaly.
