I just ordered a book called "The Torchon Lace Workbook: A concise lacemaking course -- the basic skills fully explained, with prickings and diagrams for 27 finished lace products."

I was inspired by looking at a project that
tailordrews had done. His work is amazing! I've always wanted to learn to do bobbin lace and even signed up for a course once. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend and had to cancel.
