4.0 out of 5 stars
A nice place to start,
By Chris Parmenter (Glenelg, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Needle-Made Laces and Net Embroideries: Reticella Work, Carrickmacross Lace, Princess Lace and Other Traditional Techniques (Dover Knitting, Crochet, Tatting, Lace) (Paperback)
This book is great for beginners, who are unfamiliar with some of the different types of lace. Although no lace is gone into in depth, there is enough in each part to get you started and understand the differences. The illustrations are very clear, and I found the instructions quite easy to follow. It is only a little book, though, so don't expect too much. The one thing that really delighted me was the chapter on netting - how the fishermen used to do it. There Have been many times when I've searched for information on this topic and have come up empty.

nice overview, little depth (no pun intended),

This review is from: Needle-Made Laces and Net Embroideries: Reticella Work, Carrickmacross Lace, Princess Lace and Other Traditional Techniques (Dover Knitting, Crochet, Tatting, Lace) (Paperback)
The depth I'm referring to is the content, of course. I like the book and I will keep it because there is really useful beginner's information on different types of lacing and netting, but I actually was hoping for a bit more instruction on how to do needle lacing.

Just a dabble,
This review is from: Needle-Made Laces and Net Embroideries: Reticella Work, Carrickmacross Lace, Princess Lace and Other Traditional Techniques (Dover Knitting, Crochet, Tatting, Lace) (Paperback)
I liked this book because it introduces several types of needlework (especially the ones that are hard to find information on) however there is not enough information to really get started in the different needlework items. If it was more expansive it would be an invaluable reference.
