Keep in mind that in Withof there's no working diagram to follow, and no
pinholes. You get a line drawing and you kind of do your own thing, placing

Very daunting at *any time*, for me; I can't function without pre-pricked holes as my basic compass... Even if I decide to move them a tad, after a while :) Some Milanese patterns come that way, and an element (a leaf) in Cathy Belleville's Rosa Libre did, too. The first thing I do in those cases (if I don't decide to give up entirely, that is <g>) is to mark the places where the pins ought to go (IMO), given the thickness of thread, and the number of bobbins used...
