Hmmm.... that would explain it! I love Bridget Cook's book, and use it
often... but only when I'm into a new pattern and encounter something I
don't recognize... And since I'm currently not at home, I didn't have
it to refer to. I'm looking forward to being home again tomorrow...
five days with no lacemaking is no fun at all!!

Apple Blossom fillings? They sound beautiful - but I've never run

Like almost everything else worth knowing about lacemaking, the Apple
Blossom can be found in Bridget Cook's "Bible" (aka Practical Skills
in BL) == Section V, #5
It's a crossing of two 2-pair plaits, with (2-thread) picots tucked
into the angles, close to the crossings. She also shows (#6) a double
Apple Blossom (2 picots in the angles between plaits) with a larg-ish
hole in the middle. I've never tried tat one, but it looks tempting.
My copy of Practical Skills is full of notes stuck in. Next to the
Apple Blossom, I have a note, which says: "The Dutch calll it
Margrietengrond"
