That happens quite a bit, I think, Lorelei. I'm working on a project at the moment that doesn't quite match the photo sample - it's plus and minus legs in places. Another class project I started with Jean Leader last weekend has differences between the 2 versions of the pricking in 2 different books - also plus and minus legs in places, and minus a lot of picots but they did correct a missing row of leaves in the later version of the pricking.
Different workers will solve the same problem in different ways, and sometimes 1 pair more or less than the sample can change how the problem is solved. I'd use the picture as a guide only, and let your threads and pillow guide you to a solution, rather than try to force the pillow to do what the lines on paper 'tell' you to do. The great thing about Beds (or the really frustrating thing, depending on your point of view), is that there are multiple solutions to a problem, and in the end, go for what makes a strong join/connection or piece of lace, and what looks right. Beds borrows from lots of different laces, so there are plenty of options to choose from at times. Your piece looks really nice :-) Cheers, Helen, Duvall, WA - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
