Hi! At a time when I was attempting City & Guilds Part 1, having been told that I was going to have to learn Bucks Point, I decided to get ahead of the game, and teach myself from Pamela Nottingham's "Technique of Bobbin Lace). So I attempted the first two patterns in the Bucks section of the book - and they both had corners designed, so I naturally included the corners. The first one, being VERY simple, went OK, the second was fine until I got to the corner, where I got into a real muddle. I managed to get the right number of pairs coming out of the corner, but I just couldn't follow the instructions and diagrams for the actual corner. To cap it all, I got a real telling off from my lace teacher for attempting either corner. I was told I would only be required to do corners in the unlikely event of my ever reaching Part 2! Since I didn't even finish Part 1, I don't need corners!! I think that, traditionally, corners are simply not worked as such, but just by gathering the lace to move to the next side.

I'd like to try it as a handkerchief edging, but can't seem to track down an existing corner design.
