Aantal spelden is the number of rows of grid points in a pattern repeat ie double the number of edge stitches. If that is not clear <g> consider that the left hand pair from the last ground stitch on the left passes out through the left edge gimp and makes the edge stitch in a pinhole one row below the ground stitch, then back in through the gimp to make a ground stitch one row below the edge stitch....

An example, translated for me by a Dutch friend, is as follows: Aantal paren: 59 Number pairs Aantal dike draden: 5 Number of thick threads Aantal spelden: 68 Number of pins I don't understand the "Number of pins line". Can anybody offer an explanation? Surely one would need more than 68 pins! .....Noelene in Cooma, Australia [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.ozemail.com.au/~nlafferty/ - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
