Hello All! Or should I say merci a tous?! Each respondent filled in part of a collaborative answer! Now I know why a tatting friend refers to some work as Josephine knots. The threadwork in the painting does look more like knots than rings/picots/whatever. Is it possible that the couched knotwork was a form of passementerie or used with crochet for insertions?? Sort of like coronation cord in the early 1900's?? (Yes, I have a stash of coronation cord & some vintage instructions to use it!) I will ask my friend "the Oracle" about knotting unless a "how to" answer appears on arachne first. Sounds like something fun & easy to try while showing off my lovely hands to their best. LOL Click--occasionally the light bulb goes on here!! Susan, recovering from being overheated & overworked in the garden. Erie is 88* & muggy in the midst of drought
