There are several small books of patterns by Marjorie Preece (sp?). I
know The Lacemaker (Ohio, USA) sells them. I don't know if other

However, I don't think there's anything about the technique--just
patterns for those who know how to do it.

There are lots of pretty and interesting patterns in that book. Sue
And in the U.S. there's Firemountain Gems (available on-line too).

The little spiders are cute, but you'd better use them only on bobbins you
don't want to use for sewings. They look like they'd catch a lot in the
threads.

Last year, I finished off a piece of lace that mum had started and trimmed a
hanky for Jacquie's wedding (wow, just over a year ago now - doesn't time

's Gravenmoer is a form of hand-made torchon which has half stitch
worked with diagonal and vertical threads instead of the usual diagonal
