[lace] Russian Gimp

[Sue]

Last week I was struggling with the magic chains (russian gimps), not 
quite understanding what I was surposed to be doing and Daphne reminded 
me to look in the Pam Nottingham book (Bobbin Lace making) where there 
is a very clear picture plus the information I needed to guide me 
through.  (I didn't back track then, because I had almost finished it)  
Not only was I doing the twists on every row which was wrong, I was also 
taking the inside 2 threads out instead of the outside threads to the 
centre!!!!!  So much for thinking I knew what I was doing.  Still I hope 
I will remember where to find the information next time around.  I have 
now done the same pattern twice, both look pretty good, but I am 
determined to get those russian gimps right eventually.  I have taken a 
break now doing another little pattern, but if I get those gimp threads 
right I might even be tempted to put it into the albums on arachne, <g>
I also had another lacemaker come in to check if I was still in need of 
the info, so thank you again arachnians for never letting me down.
