OLD FRIEND, NEW DELIGHT
I just found out about Kim Brody Salazar's blog String-Or-Nothing. Kim is one of my heroines in the historical needlework world. She slaved over her publication, The New Carolingian Modelbook and is a whiz at the history of knitting. I am astounded by her new use of modelbuch patterns in filet crochet. I'm sure a piece of filet crochet by my grandmother was inspired by an early lacis pattern. I just haven't connected it yet. Squares are squares are squares and these timeless designs are only limited by the confines of our imagination.
