New Braids and Designs in Milanese Lace - Pat Read & Lucy Kincaid

Publisher : Batsford (12 Nov. 2014)
ISBN-10 : 0713471921
ISBN-13 : 978-0713471922
New Braids and Designs in Milanese Lace by Pat Read & Lucy Kincaid
The first third of this book covers braid designs which are explained clearly in the book with clear instructions.

There is a section in the book dedicated to colour which shows how colour works well with Milanese Lace.

The 'S for Serpent' patten on the front cover is included in the book

The book assumes that you know the basics of Milanese Lace so this is aimed at the adventurous beginner or intermediate lacemaker.  A good follow on to Pat Read's  An Introduction to Milanese Lace Book published by the Lace Guild.
Picture
What works well?
  • The black and white photos of the braids are exceptionally well taken so that they boost the understanding of the patterns included.  The few colour photos clearly show how colour can work well with Milanese lace.
Anything that we need to take into consideration?
  • This book is currently out of print, but is often available on from online booksellers and occasionally on eBay
  • This book is available on kindle.  As with many kindle books, care should be taken when buying lace books on kindle that have patterns in them as there can be issues in printing them out to the correct size.

    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.
