Hello Devon and everyone The method shown looks like the way to do it for speed in production. In a way reminds me of the efficiency of movement when touch-typing (now there's a dying art, ha ha). I've accidentally made lace the way she is doing - except really *slow* - when I was holding the lace book open at a diagram with my right hand, to look at while I used the fingers of my left hand to move the bobbins. Fascinating. I wonder if she is making the leaf/tally with the left hand, too. Maybe, maybe not.
