Hello Everyone!
I don't know who came up with the idea that Canadian lacemakers should or
would consider the International Old Lacemakers
the umbrella for Canada. Sorry about the hesitation but the steam coming
out of my ears was fogging my pc screen.

There is an excellent resource for all of us courtesy of LOKK. Go to
their site under their free patterns. take a look at the archive. they
have all sorts of wonderful tape patterns and others that would more

Dear Kim,
You are so right. No hankie edgings for kids. But culling Christmas
stars, anything with 10 pairs or less, Brigette Bellons books, all that stuff
has great merit. A wide choice of options is I think the best approach, with
some cars and trucks thrown in.

There are some children's booklets about. The Lace Guild (England) has a
couple including a Christmas set of relatively easy patterns. Then there is

I would also like to point out that there is a copyright statement in the
front of this book that is translated into English and says, "The lace
patterns may only be photocopied for teaching lacemaking, but not for
commercial purposes."
I construe this to mean that you could ethically make copie
I have this curriculum binder,and I love it. It is a bit pricey, but if
you think you will be working with kids much it is well worth the price.
It is very well thought out with a lot of diagrams of basic stitches and
things to help illustrate a point. It uses the techniques it covers in

Absolutely fantastic. Well done. Well done. Good every way you look at it.

When my daughter was young I signed her up for the Lace Guild's young
