An English translation (1997) of a 1985 Greek manual on Cretan bobbin lace by Kristina Koustouraki-Koukoulari. It covers the lace's introduction to Crete around 1906-1908, supplies, winding bobbins, pillow and pattern setup, and step-by-step instructions for the panaki (tape) with themata, ouyia and fifikaki edges. It also explains fillings (tulle, fil tiré), leaves (fylla), plaits, curves, sharp corners, circles, daisy motifs and the old-style and modern tapes, with photographs and motif designs for tablecloths. Appendices give a Greek-English glossary, definitions of edge treatments and a note on open versus closed method stitch notation.
