In issue 8: "Treasures from near and far" we do a treasure quest and will find a lot of various valuable things from far away, which are moved to pattern for lace making. These are:

Furthermore you can enjoy an article about Jo Edkings from Great Britain. This time in both languages: German and English. Than we have an interview with Katrin Münster, a hobby lacemaker from Dippoldiswalde. A new comic and two exhibition are included too. And at least there are two new chapters of the lace making technique lexicon: A short "Introduction Milan lace" by Anja Nickell and a detailed tutorial for "Star-Ground with double cluny leaves or diamonds", which is used in the variable pattern.
