Beskrivning
Explore the world of Bobbin Lace with this book, which takes you through simple Torchon ground pieces to scarves, purse and bags.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.While the basic lace stitches are common to all types of bobbin lace, different lacemaking traditions developed different ways of putting these stitches together. Bruges lace, for example, uses less than a dozen pairs of bobbins and a relatively coarse thread to create curved braids and flower-like motifs which are linked to form the fabric; on the other hand point ground laces, such as Chantilly or Bucks Point, are worked from one end to the other in fine silk or cotton and may need a hundred pairs or more.

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.

    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.
