It looks to me very much like a takeoff on lacis, but making the
background net with bobbins, instead of as a netting. Certainly the
"charted" aspect of it isn't new--some of the earliest extant lace books
rely heavily on charts.

I think this has been floating around for some time. I saw it a few
years ago when the was a workshop on it at our local lace group. The
main things seems to be that the holes on the pricking are set square
to each other rather than on a diagonal line to look like filet lace.
Then the filled in blocks are done as tallies or with beads. It was
very effective and the ladies who did the workshop made some nice
little amulet purses with their initial letter on them in beads.

Where after weeks of miserable damp and chilly weather it is now
ridiculously hot. There's no inbetween these days.
