I'm with Brian. When I first thought about starting bobbin lace, I asked a lacemaker for a pricking of a Springett snake. She (probably quite rightly) said no, it was copyrighted.
But it seemed a bit tough to me at the time. I didn't want a copy of the whole book, just the famous "snake", which is ideal for a beginner to get the hang of cross and twist, and is often used on "try me" pillows at demonstrations. We were at a demonstration at the time - she on bobbin lace, I was tatting, before I had even started bobbin lace. Several years later, I of course bought copies of the Springett books, and have since shared the snake pricking with several others, who in turn have gone on to purchase the books. Had I not shared the snake pricking with them, they may not have known about the books, and how good they are.
