Building Torchon Lace Patterns - Bridget M Cook

Publisher : Batsford Ltd; 1st Edition (1992)
ISBN : 9780713486231

Building Torchon Lace Patterns by Bridget M Cook
One of the first multilingual books on lacemaking published in the UK.
I originally bought this book thinking it would teach design like Jane Atkinson's Pattern Design for Torchon Lace however this book focuses more on adapting the given patterns using suggestions in the book

What works well?

The diagrams are full colour and well drawn

Anything that we need to take into consideration?

This book is out of print, but frequently comes up on online sellers and eBay.

So, you've bought a book that is not in a language that you read.
No problem.
I would strongly recommend downloading the Google Translate app on your phone.
This allows you to hold your phone over the text and it shows the translated text on your phone screen.
I've used this successfully to read Russian lacebooks.

I'm the lace bee and these are my books

With currently over 300 books and about the same number of individual patterns, I have an enviable library. So here are some of my books.

You can see all of the titles by opening up the archives or by clicking on the categories which I've used to group by authors, language and lace types

I am very grateful to the lace gumnuts of Australia for permission to quote and link their reviews to this site.
