Hi spiders,
After many years I have taken up again RPL. I haven't done too much in the

Dear Spiders
I was out giving a lecture last night (Golden Domes and Samovars - a Russian
adventure but with only a bit of Vologda lace) so could not reply on crossing
braids.
Miriam does not come until Friday, so I have time. I have been sorting out

However, many Battenberg-style patterns that have loops in them can be made

Dear Sulochona,
Your work is beautiful! You have inspired me. I don't do needlelace, but have
