Pomegranates in Bobbin Lace Part 1 by Jean Eke and Sandi Woods
The Persephone Connection

Included in this booklet are two patterns, firstly the Pomegranate and secondly a red cardinal which can also be worked in a dark colour to create a blackbird.

Although there are working instructions in this booklet, a good knowledge of Milanese lace is assumed so this is aimed at the intermediate to advanced lacemaker.

At the end of the booklet there is also a recipe for Brussel sprout and Pomegranate salad.

What works well?

The booklet contains not just the two patterns along with working instructions but also historical information on Pomegranates.

Anything that we need to take into consideration?
