Hi All, The last thing my Paternal Grandmother did in this world was to teach me to crochet (I turned 10 the week she died). Alice always had a number of things on the go, and supplied many things to local Fetes and was a major inspiration for me. Not sure of Northern Hemisphere equivalent - ? Fair.
My mother taught me what I wanted to know when I asked and this is important to a kid. Much of what I learn comes from books after someone has "held my hand while I take the first steps" - like the one hour lesson a sister in law had with me for tatting. Lace came to me with an interest in Ecclesiastical Stitchery and I did a Correspondence Course with Rosemary Shepherd - the text of the course was published as a "How to" book and is still the best "how to" book I have seen. I have attended both a local group and the NSW Guild at irregular intervals and always like to look at what other people are making. I love Lace Express Magazine, and although I probably will not work many pieces, look through them from time to time. It gives an excellent idea of the scope of the Craft. My as-yet-unfulfilled ambition is to teach one of my Girl Guides to make lace.
