A must-have for all bobbin lacers
10 Nov 1999
Format:Paperback
This is my personal lacemaking bible. Especially helpful for those who have little or no access to other lacemakers, it is chock-full of diagrams showing virtually every technique imaginable. There are no patterns in this book; it is purely technique. Still, without it I would have lost my mind on several occasions. If you are learning bobbin lace, this book is one of the best buys you could possibly make.

A definite must for bobbin lace makers
25 Oct 1999
Format:Paperback
Bridget Cook's Practical Skills (the Cook Book among fans) is a definite must for lacemakers. This is not a pattern book, nor a beginner book. It is the ultimate companion for bobbin lace makers, providing answers to almost every technical problem that arises when making bobbin lace. More often than not Cook provides several solutions to a problem, so you can choose the solution that suits your lace best. This book has saved my lace (and my sanity) several times and I heartily recommend it.

Practical Skills in Bobbin Lace
29 Nov 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
What a fabulous book. I have been searching for this book for almost two years, since it is out of print. It is the absolute bible of bobbin lacemaking. I have already made extensive use of it. It seems to cover every possible question or problem you might encounter. The explanations and illustrations are fantastic.
