Working with Tess's method is great fun. I've been painstakingly making the movement of rotating the wrist whilst grasping the bobbins of the pair between fingers, lengthwise, and can do better with the lefthand than the righthand now (and I am using spangled mids, of a work-horse style, mixed with one or two sleek squares). In appearance the leaf tally is closer to the pumpkin-seed shape that I see in the French how-to books, then my present style of 3 even ribs of weaving.
I still need to work on picot-edged tallies - the last one I made has an organic shape to it unrelated to a leaf (eek), and one day would like to master working tallies palms up, as on a bolster pillow. onward and along ;) Thanks again Tess! > Anyway, what's done is done, and I hope that this will clear up some of the > confusion which inevitably occurs when one is trying to explain a process > without visual aids.
