Jane, unfortunately, I was only given the prickings.
This is an interesting idea? Annette From: Jane Partridge Were any of the prickings shown alongside lace made from them? pricking alternate pinholes, and second rows not being complete, could result in the pricking for a different ground to what we know as point ground? there is a ground of honeycomb stitch (CTTpCTT) referred to as Spanish Ground, and wondered whether this, or Kat Stitch, could have resulted from misreading of an incomplete pricking. Jane Partridge _____ From: f Annette Meldrum <ameld...@ozemail.com.au <mailto:ameld...@ozemail.com.au> > They are designed for a triangular mantilla, with the borders heavily worked and the ground worked in strips with flowers at intervals. Pins were expensive, so they only used every second hole and it is evident that only every second row is fully pricked. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
