Course Description: This is a follow-on course to the Beginners Braids course and will guide you through some of the most commonly used Milanese lace techniques. This piece starts with a false footing. You will then learn to add pairs under the worker, working and understanding a scroll turn, and working a sharp corner turn. Then you will work the decorative braid Orchid 1, (that builds on the braid knowledge learned in the previous course) using a diagram and/or written instructions, reduce pairs from the center of the braid, finish at a point to then roll back around the edges of the piece using the Withof roll technique.
