I sent two messages on Friday but they haven't appeared in the lace digests.
I thought I'd better send the gist of them again.

Dear Bev,
Thank you for this, and the photo as well. While the latter is better than
the photo I have, it is still not really good enough to show me the
construction of the stitches. However, the text is exactly what I was
searching for.
Just working from left to right is different to my way of thinking, and the
result is very much better than anything I've achieved so far. However, it
seems to leave a ridge at the back - and of course, using the back of the
slipped stitch gives a ridge at the front. Yet the work is supposed to be
reversible.
Sue said she used the whole loop, so at the moment I'm trying out short
sections of every combination I can think of along the slipped stitch edge.
Then I will decide which one I like best!
Thanks again,
Jane

Dear Sue,
Your pick-up puts mine in the shade, but hopefully you only have to do yours
once :-) .
Bev has given me the instructions from one of the Orenburg books, yours
sound slightly different, so I'm trying them all, working short sections
along the the slipped stitch edge to see what looks the best.
Thank you very much for your help, and good luck with your shawl.
Jane

I'll also add a thank you to Susan Reishus. Jeri Ames also pointed me to the
Piecework corrections and I'm relieved to say that the errata is in the
section I've not yet reached. A delight yet to come!
I now have 6 variations on picking up the slipped stitch edge and keep
turning it over and over trying to decide which looks 'best' and most like
the slightly blurred photo in the magazine.
Thank you for all the help and comments and I hope this message reaches
arachne,
Jane
