[lace] More questions of terminology :)

Gentle Spiders, My OIDFA Bulletin arrived today and in it a pattern for a really lovely, 3-D (accordion-folded), star. Just what my tree is missing, so I want to make it (the sooner the better; hopefully, I can still add it this year g). But. The evil question of terminology rides again...

I made the star - work CT throughout except for CTCT at the edges. It would be too flopsy otherwise. I used Moravia 40/2 at the enlarged size (120%). My star looks fine. You can also make it at the size given with a finer thread of course - maybe a linen 50/2 ? Have fun, it is a cool design.
