Hi ladies (and any lurking men)

Today I went back to my books and found out/confirmed the following

Cloth Stitch is the same stitch as Whole Stitch - just different names

Cloth/Whole Stitch is made by doing CTC
Ref: Introduction to Bobbin Lace by Rosemary Shepherd pages 8 and 22
The Book of Bobbin Lace Stitches by Bridget M Cook and Geraldine Stott
page XVI

Cloth/Whole Stitch and Twist is a DIFFERENT stitch

Cloth/Whole Stitch is made by doing CTCT
Ref: Introduction to Bobbin Lace by Rosemary Shepherd pages 8 and 22
The Technique of Bobbin Lace  by Pamela Nottingham page 9

Bobbins can be wound clockwise or anticlockwise - it does not matter as
long as you are consistent
Ref: Introduction to Bobbin Lace by Rosemary Shepherd page 17

Torchon Ground is made by doing CTpCT
Ref: The Technique of Bobbin Lace  by Pamela Nottingham page 13

See what happens when I actually *read* the lace books :)

I realise that I am probably preaching to the choir here but these are
things I needed to clarify so hopefully my sending them to you will
clarify things for someone else - before they get too confused.
