Hi All,
All Alex's comments are very useful. I have recently done a Bucks Workshop with Heather Billington and Heather has her workshop participants photocopy both the working diagram and paths of gimps larger and follow the paths of threads with colours. Had a busy week leading up to the Workshop and suffered from not doing as advised. Must get hold of a copy of both your Bucks books Alex.

I also recommend colouring in Bucks clothwork circles that have the same pin configuration as honeycomb rings. After making the lid motif in my geometrical book three times and getting one of the rings wrong in each I coloured the clothwork circles and had no trouble making one correctly. Your pricking is for your own use and what you do with it to enable you to make good lace is no one else,s business but yours.
