Good morning, everyone! I'm about to venture into the world of 's Gravenmoerse lace, using pattern books 1 and 2 by Versluis. (I particularly like the "Winter" bookmark.)
It suddenly dawns on me that I've never inserted color into a lace piece before, when the colored motifs are surrounded by "plain" color ground stitches. I assume one ties the colored threads to the plain ones (individually) for the motifs in the 's Gravenmoerse laces, and then reverses the process at the end of the motif? Is this true? Or does one just tie a knot with all four threads (two plain coming out of the ground, and two variegated going into the motif) at the beginning and end of the variegated motif? In either case, what do I do with the little ends of thread that will probably be "sticking out" at the start and end of the variegated motifs? Just want to clarify this before I go further. I've got pattern pricked and will be winding bobbins over the next couple of days. Thanks for any advice you can provide.
