I have done a bit of bucks but this is the first time I have done more than
just photocopy and prick someone elses pattern. Although this is also a
part of someone elses pattern I hope it will get me going on putting
together bucks into the future. Maybe one of my patterns will be worth
seeing, <grin> for now I have much to learn.
I had one of Elwyn Kenns books to hand and just looked at the last pattern
and of course you are right, there isn't anything other than a normal pin
dot to tell anyone that it should be a picot, it just is:-) but looking
through the book I see the working diagrams with the small circles as
mentioned by another arachnean. I also feel that it is sensible to have
that in the working diagram and also like to see where the threads come from
and go to. I am nowhere near proficient enough to work it all out in a nice
consistant way yet, but keep working on it, ah!!
Thank you for your input, always useful.

I'm really "into" Bucks - and frankly, I don't mark the picots at all.
Probably because, unless the pattern is an insertion, the picots are always
there - this is how the outside row of pinholes on the headside is always
worked.

I have just been playing nice and working on a bucks type pattern on lace
2000
and wondered how to mark picots on a pattern on the outside fans? I have
the
thread line and pin holes but not something donating picot. This is not my
own pattern but part of one of the Devon Trolley lace patterns In Carol
McFadzeans book, I want to use for a hanky edge.
Can I ask what others do to create the right markings please? This is my
first venture into point ground lace, other than photocopying an original
pattern.
