But Jane - a clove hitch bears absolutely no resemblance to a sheet bend!
A clove hitch is simply 2 loops placed one on top of the other (in
opposite directions) and then slid over the top of a stick, pole or
post. It has an entirely different function.

I know that now, but as a seven year old didn't, and didn't question
what I was told; and now all I can remember was that I was told it was a
sheet bend and involved rope and a chair leg! Fortunately a friend who
had been a Guide showed me the difference before I became a Guider and
needed to be able to teach the knots (though there I chickened out most
of the time and DH, who had been a Scout and very knot-proficient,
taught them for me!).
The nice thing about bobbin lace is that it shouldn't have any, of
course!
