Hi Bev

Thank you.  I think that is what she was referring to. 

Kind regards
Dianne

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.
