[lace] The Horror Kit - UK version

2007-04-06 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hello all, Just wanted to put my two cents in, I too bought the US Horror Kit. I picked it up, tried to figure out what was going on, then put it back down for three years. Then one day I decided that I still wanted to learn how to make lace. I went on line with Jan in England, three
