I am totally in Sue's court on this one! I savor my books. I love to take
them to bed for a read or a look-through. My eyes get tired much quicker when

I really, really, really dislike 'reading' a book on the computer.
So I rarely buy CDs, since I have to print them out and the cost of
ink is more than buying a softcover book! For me to buy a CD, the
patterns would have to be spectacularly spectacular.

I would plump for a book every time because sometimes I don't want to

Hi Carol
I would purchase a pattern book on a CD.
I would expect to see the pattern, a pricking and hints for working.
How much to pay would depend on how many patterns I am getting on the CD and
how detailed the instructions are.
EX: If I am just getting prickings with no instructions, I
My preference would be for a CD as well. They store much easier than a
large book and I also like the ability to only print off what is
needed directly onto the card stock I use for my prickings.
There is a pattern book on EBay for $7.95 that is simply an emailed
file. I would expect a CD to run a
I would prefer to buy it on CD and only print what I would need to use from

Are the main two.

I'm doing an informal survey and would value your opinions. Would you purchase
a pattern book on CD if the CD insert showed thumbnail photos of the finished
lace? If you had the choice of a printed pattern book--let's assume that it is
not a hardbound volume--or a CD, which would you purchase? I
Very sensible advice in the light of a news item on BBc where a lady said
they had thought they were prepared but ended up just throwing things into the
car. She thought they had one shoe - but didn't qualify that one.

Thanks! At first I thought the knot was like the Armenian knot, but

Avital,
We used a number 30 crochet cotton and worked onto the folded edge of a
small piece of fabric while learning.
To make fabric just work stitches close together and on the return row,
stitch in between every stitch. You can work pyramids on an edge by
decreasing a stitch on each side in each

Hi, all,
Unfortunately I don't have the Anchor Manual of Embroidery! That seems
to be the only English publication with Puncetto lace. I'm really glad
to see that some of you have experience with this kind of needle lace.
I knew Arachne would come through!
OK, here are my questions:
