I've got one other suggestion to add to that... Put the date you started the piece on the pricking as well, and when you finish the piece, add that date. I save my prickings in a notebook, and this helps me remember when I made the piece and how long it took me. I usually work on just one

That's why it's great to make a note right on the pricking - you won't have to go looking for it, at least while you still have the pricking on the pillow! Make the notes before you forget, and use abbreviations if there isn't much space. If you start a piece and cut it off, pin the bit to the

You are allowed to copy a percentage (10% I think) of a library book for your own personal use/study. That would surely cover you if you borrow a lace book and make one, maybe two, patterns from it. If it's an instruction book and you intend to work through all the instructions from cover
