Hello,
While looking at members of buddy lace map I realized that opening some
websites causes an error (it's a white page starting with text Oh, no, for
some reason, this page could not be found . I think, that the reason is
that the address is wrong - for instance Julie Enevoldsen has
Hello Ewa
Wrap Stitch isn't a standard knitting term (as far as I know). It
sounds as though it's a special technique used for a particular pattern
which should be described in the list of stitches/techniques used for
that pattern.
I'll guess that it means to wrap the yarn around the
I've let my knitting knowledge get dusty, but another possibility for the wrap
stitch is that the yarn is wrapped several times around the needle, and when
worked once on the return row gives very LONG legs to that stitch... useful in
a number of ways, although standing on its own would look

Hi Ewa,
I found this Question and Answer by Googling for the term Knitting Wrap
Stitch. In the Answer the writer seems to explain fairly clearly how to
work a Wrap Stitch, but obviously it would be easier to work the stitch at
the same time as reading the instructions rather than reading the
Dear Achim,

twist, but I think I read there could be none at all (P. Nottingham?), so
that there's no gap between gimp and cloth stitch filling. So, coming with
the worker through the headside passive pairs, I twist twice,

Hello Brenda,
This subject was covered quite extensively by the OIDFA Point Ground
group and and along with all the other minor variations in working
methods came to fruition as 'Point Ground Lace; a Comparative Study'
published by OIDFA in 2001.
I was going to buy that anyway since I like
Hello David, Achim and all others,
in Chantilly I learned as a rule:
coming from point-ground3 twists
honeycomb 2 twists
half-stitch 2 twists
behind the gimp
going into point-ground2 twists
The antique bobbin I won in the raffle by Debbie Mouzon arrived safe and sound
today. She had also packed the bobbin very securely compared to the OIDFA
bobbin - which also arrived safely! These raffles are such fun.

Wrap stitch might also refer to the short-row technique in
which one wraps the yarn around the first of the stitches
that aren't knitted before turning and knitting back. The
wrap may be picked up and knitted together with the stitch
later on, but in a bumpy fabric needn't be.

Coggeshall lace is the English tambour lace, made in the area of Coggeshall
Essex. I am not sure about Limerick lace but it could be a needle run lace

Hi,
Yes, Limerick, Coggeshall, Lier tape laces are similars. The difference
is on the style and some stitches are more use or not.
I readed that Limerick tape lace came from Coggeshall who came from
Luneville (in East France). In Luneville now, they don't use tulle.

Also when you are talking about the number of twists to do after gimps, it
depends on which way you do your gimps.

Please bear in mind that my statements refer only to making Bucks Point
lace. When I took classes on Bucks Point lace, I had this pattern as
one of my lessons. I actually just worked the corner because in this
particular lesson, my teacher was teaching me to start a piece of floral

Both of these are correct: Wrap stitch is not wrapping. It is a way
of making a smooth turn in short row knitting. Thanks to both Jenny
and Joy.

Gentle Spiders,
In Nüw Modelbuch, there are several patterns which use a motif, made
with 4 pairs (usually two plaits feeding into it). The motif looks very
much like like a single rose of the Flanders Ground or modern
