I am also struggling with the edge of this current piece of lace, I cant
work out how to get the bobbins into the work and looking like the pictures
with very little instructions. I attempted to change the passive threads to
a slightly thicker gimp so will change that back and maybe it will become
clearer. I dont even know what its called although when I read this Trident
edge i remembered I have the bobbin lace stitches book so checked that.
Not in there, :-(
It has a triangle of 3 pin holes 2 inside the 2 passive threads and one
outside. Every other pinhole around the outside of the edge. The next
pinhole is out slightly further so you get a sort of mini suspension bridge
look to that second pinhole. If it doesn't work tonight I am going to
have to do something different that will work. It does look quite effective
but I wont let it stop me working this piece, :-(

Has anyone done a Trident edge on their plaited lace? I think it might
originally be from an Early lace.
Question, - is each little plait held in place with a pin between the
pairs, and then worked back and 3 windmill crossings at the same pinhole
between the 3 plaited bits?
One diagram I have, from an Anita Wilkinson book, shows the plaits just
