I'm sorry but I don't have up-to-the-minute info on where to get hold of my book Alphabet Inspirations in Coloured Bobbin Lace ...........but I can tell you that each letter is worked in bobbin lace and has two different ways of working it, with detailed pin by pin instructions for each version. (I do not use pre-made tapes, or variegated threads, in any of my patterns.) In the book, one version uses Milanese Braids and the other version uses basic lacemaking stitches i.e. Cloth stitch, Halfstitch and Cloth stitch & twist. Both versions use the same set of colours, each set of 7 colours is interchangeable with those suggested for all the other letters.The colours are selected to describe the form the letter takes. I did produce at least one spin-off pattern from each letter, but unfortunately there wasn't enough room to include them all. The bonus with that book in particular, is that there is a detailed chapter on the colour techniques that I'd devised in order to work using colour for bobbin lace in a painterly way. Although, since writing the book in 2004, I have devised many more. My website, also featuring new work and containing a hopefully interesting, and informative, monthly blog may be found at: www.sandiwoods.com I can also be contacted by email at: tosandowo...@gmail.com I hope this info helps!
