The Small Friendly Spider Book - The Lace Guild

Publisher : ​A Lace Guild Publication.
ISBN : 978-1-901372-34-2
The Small Friendly Spider Book by The Lace Guild
Subtitled 17 bookmarks
With 17 bookmark patterns, this is an inspiring book for those who want to learn more about spiders in Torchon lace.
​
​Illustrated throughout with colour photos and clear diagrams, this book is clearly aimed at the intermediate lacemaker but would be fun for the adventurous lacemaker who wants to push themselves.

Although not a sequel to this book, The Return of the Spider can be seen as a companion book.
Picture
What works well?
  • This book has a really useful section on how to start a bookmark and how to end one.  It offers three different starting methods, three different ends and three ways to create tassel endings as well.
  • The colour diagrams complement the photos of the finished bookmarks as a number of the samples have been made in multicoloured threads, making it difficult to differentiate the thread workings from the photos.
Anything that we need to take into consideration?​
  • This book is currently available from both the Lace Guild and normal lace suppliers

    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.
