Hi fellow Arachnids, Much the same for me as for Sue. We also had to draw out, prick and mark out our prickings before we were to wind the bobbins. However, it does take longer and I find that especially younger lacemakers have neither the time nor the inclination to learn/work this way. I must say that I prefer making lace to making prickings, but it does teach one to be able to make decision and work independently.
Happy lace making, Joepie. From: Sue Babbs<mailto:suebabbs...@gmail.com> When I learned in England (1988 onwards), you were given the pricking, the training to interpret the pricking, and if you were lucky sight of the finished lace. The main advantage of this is that you are not dependent on diagrams (and not constantly looking from lace to diagram) and you learn to make your own decisions.
