Hi Dianne and everyone "the cushion bit" sounds like the ones referred to as "pumpkin seed" - leaf-shaped tallies with the effect of ridges at the edges. Check out the French methods (e.g. Cluny lace) of making leaf-tallies. One way to achieve this appearance is to tension outwards firmly, when the weaver has completed each pass. The middle passive, because it swings back and forth (moves out of the way accordingly), is known as the pendulum.
