A 1985 instruction book on making Honiton bobbin lace, by Susanne Thompson. It covers equipment, preparing the pillow and bobbins, and the basic stitches. Five progressive patterns follow (basic flower, handkerchief corner motif, flower spray, trillium motif and bell flower spray), each with a section on working methods, fillings, ribs, purls and leadwork. The final chapters cover mounting Honiton lace on net and designing for it, followed by a bibliography, a list of lace organisations and suppliers, and an index. It is illustrated with many numbered line diagrams and prickings.
