Reviews

"'Bobbin lace may look complicated when you see a pillow set up with dozens of bobbins, but it will seem far less daunting when you realise that only four bobbins (two pairs) are in use at any one time, and there are only two moves - twist and cross - that you can do.'" This is the best book I have found so far in my fairly short bobbin lace career and I will be recommending it to the attendees whether or not permission is granted to use the Bookworm. The photographs and instructions are presented very clearly. I also think the range of projects, especially in the variety of materials used makes the book very attractive to those who have experience in other fiber arts and wish to try bobbin lace.
