I can remember those days as well. My first lace teacher used to have the lace patterns which we pricked through them, there were no instructions, no technical drawings and sometimes not even a sample of the lace to look at. Those were the days before Pamela Nottingham books, my first lace book was Maidment. But you quickly learnt to read the pricking. Then I went to a teacher who taught me to draw out patterns on graph paper and never looked back. I Even have some heelball in a box somewhere.
