Rose-Marie You are right about adding extra twists in certain places when making spiders. The distinction between who does CT and who does TC seems to be mostly geographic.
All British lacemakers (as far as I can tell) do half stitch CT. Most, but no all, western Europeans do it CT. Most, but not all, central Europeans do it TC. Nearly all eastern Europeans to it TC. Neither system has any advantage, as far as I can see (after more than 20 years experience as a lacemaker). In either system there are places where you have to add an extra twist on one pair. But those places are different places for each system.
