Well, not only was it fun, but when the piece had been joined, I had
this perfect little corner "scrap"! I stuck it in my purse calendar,
and now when someone says, "you make what?", I can show them. And I
don't even mind that they touch it! I consider it a privileged
ambassador to our art... more people have seen this than anything else
I've made, and it isn't even the "good stuff" (only because it's a
scrap...) but in terms of beautiful lace - WOW!

But Clay, tell yourself as I would - it was fun to do the five corners!
I'm doing a five-cornered Binche hanky also! It is Cinderella Story
from the Bobijntne! 4 folder by Fumie Kanai. Of interest to Binche
workers, I've enlarged the pattern at 125% and using E.C. 70/2 instead
of the 100/2. I used to use arrows and special pins to mark my place
on the lace and the diagram but I can find my way now by comparing my
lace to the diagram.
(go me - it was a long learning curve there...)
I count pairs to keep track, and how easy it is to forget to count a
ring pair; how those ring pairs move around!
Good luck Lorelei ;)

Big Laugh! Those Binche corners are killers! When I work a
handkerchief, I expect to have to work five corners!! So when I started
the last handkerchief I did, I started just before the corner! And
wouldn't you know... it was perfect! The problem was, I hadn't given
myself enough lace at the beginning to do a decent join, so had to work
five corners anyway!! Lesson learned...
