I still don't see why you think half blocks are purely spacers, Malvary. This is the first time in over 25 years of making lace I have heard of this. I have several half blocks, and use them as and when needed, especially when working things like bookmarks, which tend to be 1.5 blocks in length. There is usually no problem with having about a quarter of a block overhang (temporarily) at the top of the pillow, or a similar gap at the bottom, so that you can work comfortably in the centre.

Why wouldn't you work on a full block to be able to turn a corner? - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
