Having looked at the publishers site:

There is no sign of the Practical Skills book, so it does look as though it
is out of print, though there are copies in some bookshops.

Having had a good glance through it before breakfast, I am looking forward

Dear Jean,
I would prefer correct size patterns. For those of us without easy access
to a good copy shop, this means that we don't have to find somewhere which
can enlarge A4 onto A3 paper and make costly errors getting the size
correct. Not to mention, the time and petrol to get to the other si

I remember some time ago, someone mentioned they had a translation for Ulrik
Lohr's Schmetterlinge.
I've just bought a copy, and my German is not sufficient to pick out more

One of my favourite presents this Christmas is a photographer's loup (my
husband wanted his back in his darkroom). They are actually magnifying
devices designed to look in detail at photos, and examine grain etc. The

Dear Merlene
You were asking if the heart pattern on the Lace Guild Advent Calendar was a
published pattern. Whilst not the complete pattern - it is part of one,
which I discovered whilst browsing through my lace books.

Dear all,
What I will add to this, is that when a young lace maker appears at a lace
