I don't think of lace as '2 stitches' -C & T. But 2 movements; Cross and twist, that go into making 3 stitches; a 2 movement stitch=CT (HS), a 3 movement stitch= CTC (cloth stitch), and a 4 movement stitch = CTCT (whole stitch). I explain it that way and that later one adds extra twists to make an opening larger (as in Pt. Grnd.), or Winkie pins, etc. I have taught several people and those who really wanted to continue have, others haven't for various reasons -too many other interests, etc. Lorri - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
