Slight correction. First, the book on Greek finger lace by Despina
Koutsikas is on the Arizona site
(http://www.cs.arizona.edu/patterns/weaving/lace.html). Marji has taught a
macrame class based on this, as many people know. What she is working on now
is Margaretenspitzen, a fascinating

Dear Jeri,
I think many of us like to understand the other aspects of lace other than
