Why?
Because the previous day was the Thameside Lacemakers lace day and the speaker for the event discussed lace, but also spent a fair few minutes about an English woman missionary who went to India to do missionary work and start a school there teaching lace to help orphan and impoverished girls learn a vocation (this was in the early 1800s). And according to the publication date in my book, was still going in 1909.
The decorative knotting is, just to be different, a brand new publication. I think I got it because I wanted to find a supplier for fine nylon braided cord... oh and the pictures and instructions for a dragonfly pin also had something to do with it, heh.

I am an enabler. A gf and myself both bought this book. I have a feeling it might beg you to purchase it, too. It's got some great knotwork in it, and I can see it really enhancing some projects!
Stumbled on in here from Ravelry:)
I've got that one too! =) I find myself fascinated with knotwork, it looks so complicated, but often, it isn't.
And yay for ravelry! =)
