There is a difference between techniques and methods. Mostly is used the closed method in which the stitches except cloth stitch end with the appropriate amount of twist. Skansk Knipling is made according the open method in with every stitch ends with a cross. This method is common in laces which are originally made on a roller pillow. There is no need to switch method when using a new technique. Skansk Knipling can also made in the closed method. The result is the same. Originally my mother taught me the closed method the same way as she learned how to make lace. More than 20 years ago Lia Baumeister taught us the open method, the way she learned to make lace. The last method is more efficient because every stitch end the same way with a cross. So the threads are always laying or hanging straight down without twist. Easy to sea. Also when you are making point lace or torchon, when some stitches end with 1 twist, another with 2 and the tulle stitch with 3 twists. Using the open method there is no need to check if you made all the twists needed for the stitch because you make them at the beginning of the stitch. This method works on a roller pillow as well as on a cooky pillow.
So switch from one technique to another without changing your method of bobbin lace making.

Many of the European bobbin laces share the same basic techniques. Half stitch is C, T; US whole stitch is C, T, C, T; and cloth stitch is C, T, C. But Skansk Knipling is different: HS = T, C and USWS = T, C, T, C; the hands fight to start those with crosses because of muscle memory. - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
