Gilian Dye and Adrienne Thunder are experienced and enthusiastic lacemakers and teachers. Both hold City and Guilds Lacemaking Part 2 and are active members of local, national and international lace organisations. In addition to this, both have served on the Executive Committee of The Lace Guild. Over many years they have developed patterns and tips for working with non-traditional materials, have won prizes in major competitions and had work exhibited in the UK and overseas.

This is by far the best teaching guide for this craft. Bobbin Lace or Tatting, is a stunning project and can be used for making bookmarks, beautiful scarfs and cushions as well as being used for trimming. An age old craft, that is becoming more and more popular, this book has easy to follow instructions, templates and with a terrific visual format as well as written methods, it makes this an achievable skill to learn and to master. The detail and the beauty of the techniques is amazing. The finished projects are stunning and with the variety and varying sizes something small can be managed by every beginner or advanced lace-maker.

   Rolig bok om knyppling

   Beginner's Guid To Bobbin Lace är fylld med inspirerade bilder. Materialen i boken är bitvis långt från det traditionella vita lingarnet. Boken är, om man kan engelska, lätt att följa, även för en nybörjare. Gilian Dye och Adrienne Thunder går igenom grunderna med illustrativa fotografier och mönster som är lätta att kopiera och använda. De finns alltifrån enkla bokmärken till färgglada sjalar. De går igenom grundläggande material och visar även hur man enkelt tillverkar en egen knyppeldyna utan höga kostnader. Jag blev glad och inspirerad av denna bok. Man kan med enkla medel, glada garner och lite tålamod och tid utifrån denna bok skapa vackra och användbara ting.
