Dear Kate - Welcome back to the list! I know I am far from the only long-time member (currently mostly lurking) who welcomes you back. My husband is an Episcopal priest and I have a special interest in church lace so thanks for pointing this one out. My big regret is that he is not an 18-1

Hi Tania, The pattern you are working and showing on your livejournal is, in English, a Torchon pattern with spiders, trail, fans, and ground. It is a lovely pattern to work and its components are fairly common in English Torchon. The English lacemakers would have the footside on the right.
