>>>From: Lorelei Halley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 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.<<<
I took a Skansk (Sweden) workshop from Marji Suhm a couple of years ago, and it's done TC, called "open method" because pairs are left hanging without the twist that "closes them off". The first day of the workshop happened to be all whole and half stitch, and I didn't have a whole lot of trouble turning things around in my head. The second day included patterns with cloth stitch (CTC), and I couldn't do it! I had a terrible time starting a stich with a cross after getting my brain turned around for the TC stitches! Robin P.
