Dear Arachnids So what is "whole stitch"?
If half stitch is CT then logically whole stitch is CTCT which means that "whole stitch and twist" is CTCTT. Or is it?!!!!! That's exactly what Alex meant by different terms for the same thing. Whole stitch, meaning CTC was the standard term used by Honiton lacemaker when I started making lace in the mid 1960s. At that time full stitch, cloth stitch and linen stitch were also used in different parts of the Midlands and the abbreviation CTC was never used. I did not come across the use of whole stitch meaning CTCT until many years later. Now we have to be multi-lingual. Don't get too confused.
