If it's The Handky I'm thinking of, it's from Ann Buck's book on Lester and the lace industry in the East Midlands. Does it have roses, and sweeps of thistles in the corners? If so, that's the one! There's a pic or 2 of the original lace in the book, and a quarter of the pricking.
I remember her starting that in a Barbara Underwood class in Sept 1989 - I was taking an Advanced Beds class with Barbara, and Christine came armed with that pattern, and Barbara crooned (and the rest of us drooled) over the pattern and her perfect raised tallies all weekend. I believe it took 4 or 5 years to complete.
