Patterns, yes; how to build them? not really,
By "emnovak" (Germany, a government employee) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Building Torchon Lace Patterns (Paperback)
DON'T GET ME WRONG! IT'S A GREAT BOOK!!It's just not quite what I expected. I'm new to lacemaking, I've only been at it for a year, but I had some ideas (from a book of Celtic stained glass patterns) and I wanted to see if there was a step-by-step method to build lace or just look at a picture and take it from there. (I've tried the 'take it from there' approach in other crafts and haven't been 100% successful). So I hinted for the book, received it for my birthday from my husband and read it cover-to-cover. I suppose I expected a list of things to do: 1. Find something you want to do in lace. 2. Decide on the stitches: (a) these are stitches most often used in backgrounds (b) these stitches hold up well here but not there. 3. Ddecide on the flow of the piece. 4. Wind your bobbins and get going. Of course, none of the above were in the book. Bridget Cook HAS to be one of the best lacemakers in the world, both for her ability to actually make the lace and for her ability and efforts in continuing this beautiful art. But I believe her abilities to design and create lace pieces are probably more artistic instinct than a learnable skill. So, I'll happily keep this book, make some more of her patterns and then get that stained glass book out again and go Celtic. I hope you buy the book, because if you are a lacemaker I know you will be glad to have it in your library.
