I recently took a class where
the teacher said she doesn't mark the twists. This creates
confusion.
Drawing twists makes a diagram more error prone. Better no marks than wrong
marks. So it is better to teach them by mouth in those situations they don't
come natural with your level of
I think it depends on the person using the diagram, the thread choice
and whatever lace it is ;)
I like to see twists marked that aren't part of our usual bobbin lace stitches!
I can choose not to do them, or add more or less as it works out. If
the markings aren't there to remind me - I forget.
all that information in your brain better organized and
more easily retrievable.

All this talk of slavishly following diagrams and thinking that is the only
way to work a pattern has me perplexed. I don't get it. I learned bobbin
