Re: [lace] Dentelle Bigoudene (Picot Bigouden)
Hi All, I knew the sardines sounded familiar. You can go to the Arachne Archive and put sardine in the search box you'll find conversations we had about the Sardine Crisis book in the past. http://www.mail-archive.com/lace@arachne.com/index.html It's really interesting to read this new conversation about Picot Bigouden!

Hello, The orange book? http://www.coop-breizh.fr/livres-3/livres-3/de-fil-aiguille-825/le-picot-bigouden-5462/zoom-fr.htm Yes it's about motifs and patterns The second : http://www.amazon.fr/crise-sardine-l%C3%A2ge-dor-dentelle/dp/2737332648 You can find information too in : http://www.coop-breizh.fr/livres-3/livres-3/les-metiers-art-706/dentelles-bretagne-1908/zoom-fr.htm It's a book not only on this technic.

Wow--I found two books, the one with the orange cover & the black & white one with the girls making lace. I've got the ISBN for the orange one & it looks like there are motifs & patterns. The second one seems to be a history book related to the 1902 sardine crisis & how lace making helped support the impoverished population. A few YouTube videos show the technique & it's all in the wrist! If there are other books, please let me know. Thanks for helping the solve the mystery (to me!) of this beautiful lace. I was trying to understand whether it was similar to needle lace or bobbin lace in Normandy but it is neither!

Re: [lace] Dentelle Bigoudene (Picot Bigouden)
Hi, we are taking about a different book and different techniques. We only used crochet cotton and string, no wire. If you put Picot Bigouden into internet you will see what I am talking about. I will look at the book you have mentioned. But something else for us both to think about. In the meantime I will get back to the hairpin crochet.

Thanks Maureen! Perhaps we are discussing the same book? Dentelle en Bretagne by Viviane Helias & Helene Cario, published by coop breizh. When you attended the class, did you use wire? It looks like wire & linen cord are combined? Another website has some info: guennbretagne.centerblog.net.

Re: [lace] Dentelle Bigoudene (Picot Bigouden)
Good morning Picot Bigouden is a crochet lace very much in the style of Irish crochet and was, I think, modelled on it. I have a book on this lace having been to a workshop on it last year. The book is in French but the photos are very clear so you can work the patterns out if you can't speak or read the language. If you want any further info, let me know and I can get the book out. It has an ISBN number and I think it can be bought on Amazon but the teacher I went to was taking orders and sending it on. Bigouden is a very small fishing village on the west coast of Britanny.
