I bought the book 1 of gravenmoerse patterns this weekend and I want to make them all NOW. I've found the prickings clear and some of the words easy to translate, and feel confident that I can make the patterns "work" with my knowledge of torchon and the general instructions at the back of the book. But certainly first time around I'd like to make the patterns as the author intended and wonder could one of you help with some of the terms in the "techniques used"? In particular
gesloten speldslag; and knipschaar I assume that "linnenslag" means whole stitch or linen stich, but is this ctct or ctc? The instructions describe "Brussels Ground" - Is this the most usual ground for this type of lace? Is "rechte rand" a torchon type straight edge? What is the Gravenmoerse way of doing picots? (knotted like Bayeux lace or several twists like Bucks?)
