For paintings of the garments worn at the time LePompe was published, see this. Look about 1/3 down the page.
Both the 2nd and 3rd and 5th are from LePompe, the oldest known pattern book, dating from the mid 16th century.
The bottom row is from BOBBIN LACE LESSON-CLOTH STRIP.
The Circle at right is another way to learn the basic stitches.
Find pattern.

Hi to all. Yes, your website is one of the reasons I am here. Thank you so much. And I am trying to get the materials ready. I am moving slower due to my neck surgery but I can read and prep. Thanks again for all this great help.

Jo is a very valuable member of our network, and her website is marvelous. I love the animated stitches. But I have also prepared basic lessons which concentrate on some styles of bobbin lace a little different from the ones Jo focuses on. I did that deliberately, thinking it pointless to compete over the same work. If you look at the photos and links just above and below the circular lace you will see links to my lessons. Taking hers and mine together would give you a very basic grounding. So pick a place to start and then ask questions here. Both of us, and other members, will probably give answers.
You are about to start a great adventure.
Hi Bianca!
I've written a website
http://www.gwydir.demon.co.uk/jo/lace/index.htm
which has instructions (and animations) for stitches, descriptions of equipment, and lots of patterns, including a lot for beginners, especially in Torchon lace. There are different lace styles, but a lot of beginners start with Torchon. The beginner part of my website is here:
http://www.gwydir.demon.co.uk/jo/lace/begin.htm
One problem with my website is that there is a lot on it, and it can be confusing, with different parts linking into other parts! So I've written a book, both in e-book and paper form, order on Amazon:
How to make Bobbin Lace by Jo Edkins
Sorry for the advert, but IOLI do know about both and seem to approve! The website is free to use, by the way. The book is quite cheap.
Winding bobbins using a string with a ring attached.

Here is a lady using the palms up method of holding the bobbins to work leaf tallies on a bolster pillow. Interesting.
Liz - what I posted yesterday was a link to an album of photos on facebook. If you aren't on facebook or a member of that particular group, their software might not be willing to show it to you. I posted the link in our section LINKS.

The email I just received give the link to here, Lorelei, but your message and query are not here, and I cannot find them in the Main page or forum. I am not good at searches on computers, unfortunately, so I cannot put in my bit about the lace and instructions you are asking about. Grr! computers - especially Windows 10 and it's updates!!!!!!!!
Maybe the letter will appear later on, as I have noticed things have been slow showing up lately for some reason. I have found messages on the site, and got the notification the following day!
Don't stress about it - I LOVE the site, and won't be leaving, ..!! I know these glitches are Not your fault and can't be helped.
Happy Mothers Day to you, and all Mums out there.
Jenny, if I didn't know, I'd likely not spot it. You must be so relieved - and likely a bit more confident now, too.
Wow! I wish I could repair things that neatly. Very well done. If you don't mention it, no-one will ever know.
