These two arrived yesterday. The Mainly Lace Bookmark Collection is a comb-bound self-published book that I ordered from the U.K. (They have a free downloadable bookmark pattern on their webpage.) I bought just the first Bookmark Collection because that one is Torchon, and that's what I'm working on right now. Book 2 concentrates on other types of lace.
The Torchon Lacemaking book is a library book, requested through inter-library loan. I have this one in Kindle format, but that makes it difficult to see the correct size of the patterns in the book. I need to print out a few patterns in order to properly size the patterns I print from the Kindle version of the book. One thing I saw on another book was a scale line - the line next to the pattern was supposed to be 10 cm when printed. That allows the user to increase or decrease the size of the print-out as necessary to achieve the correct size.
The next two photos were taken at the Renaissance Strings shop when I picked up my violin yesterday. Such beautiful violins! I looked at several violins yesterday, but did not think to ask if he had any other t-shirts for sale. I'll have to check on that.
