Good morning all from dreary UK. To keep track of where I am in an intricate pattern, I use the method that Christine Springett taught me and many others: I put a copy of the pattern/pricking in an A4 plastic folder (if very large, I cut the diagram into one or more A4 pages with slight overlap. Then use solidly coloured sticky plastic (something like book covering stuff), cut 3-4cm arrows with "sharp" point, and use these to mark each point of wherever I am in the piece of lace. They are easy to move and can be used again and again. When you use pins for a working diagram, it can be tricky when you put your lace in progress and working diagram away or transport to class, as all these pins are sticking out. You do not have that problem with the sticky arrows. Agnes Boddington - Elloughton UK
