RE: [lace] Lacemaking in Norway?

Hi Mark, There was a small lacemaking tradition in Norway for making gold/silver lace and for making woolen lace. The Jan 1998 issue of Lace has a nice article with photos about the Norwegian tradition by Ernst Ziesler. If you like, I could scan it and email it to you. I went to Norway around 2

[lace] Lace magazine

Hooray, my magazine arrived today. Thanks to all for letting me know that some of you had received your copy on this continent. Especially nice when I saw I had a pattern and an article in this edition. That was probably why I was anxious for it to arrive, so I would have a nice surprise. My

[lace] Russian tape lace book

Hello all. I am very interested in Russian bobbin lace, and have seen a book on Vologda's grounds. The book is *The Technique of Vologda Lace*, by Vera Cockuyt. As I haven't seen the book, I would like to have some references before buying it. Do any of you have the book or know it? I would like
