In one class I was teaching, one quite experienced lacemaker had managed to avoid tallies with her previous teacher, and with me until she had been in my classes for a couple of years. When it was *essential*, because of the piece of lace she had chosen to do, there was blue smoke around her for several weeks. Later in the term another student, a fairly new lacemaker, also wanted to learn how to do them. Her first one was nearly perfect, her second just as good, as was the third. Student one (who by now could produce passable tallies, but still with massive concentration) was watching this with envy. The whole class collapsed with laughter when student two asked, in all innocence "Yes, but when am I going to learn to do the *difficult* tallies that ******* has so much trouble with?"
