RE: [lace] oval leaves
Hello again, it is interesting following this thread, but no one has actually re-posted the link to the original visual description that I was after. Also, to those worried about the effect on my hands of changing at this stage of the game, I am only interested in trying out other methods, just to see what I can achieve. I don't anticipate making hundreds or even thousands of leaves, as some of you do!

(Those of you who've done leaves like that will know there's a very awkward move with the right thumb.)

[lace] Oval Leaves
I feel a bit of a fool - thought I had saved the site for the leaves, which showed in clear detail step by step, a method of making them. Please could someone let me have the address again. Sorry to trouble you, but it was a very clear description. I have made leaves in the 'English' manner (on the pillow rather than in the hand) all my lacemaking life, but am just starting to experiment with other methods, in the hope that I can 'perfect' mine. However, I should add that I do not work in fine threads, so I am looking for an ideal, fool-proof (:-)) way with 16/2 and thicker fibres. I suspect that it is more down to the maker than the thread, but I live in hope!
