I recently downloaded a picture of of what looked like a simple Torchon bookmark from Pinterest. I thought I could play with it and make a pricking from the photo. I did that, trued it, and was ready to go. What it consists of is five large hearts filled with half stitch, outlined with gimp. The edges are fans, mostly cloth stitch but shaped also like hearts. The inside points of the fans meet the bottom tips of the hearts. Simple design really but... I started to wonder how on earth did the lacer fill those hearts with half stitch? The only answer could be it was done in the s'Gravenmoer style, diagonally. I cannot get any information (that I can understand) on how to do this. Can anyone explain this to me in plain English please:) I'm just about wearing out the thread trying variations and retro lacing :( Sharon on Vancouver Island
