[lace] Tamara's Toss
Dear Friends, Some of you may recall that large piece of Toender lace I've been working on. Well this week I finally got back to it after about 18 months doing other things! I've added a couple more inches this week and am half way through turning the last of the 4 corners. Whilst making one of the numerous tallies, I was half way through one when the phone rang. I instantly recalled what I've always thought of an Tamara's Toss - because it was the Duchess who taught it to me. That is, when in the situation in which I found myself, you simply toss the working bobbin straight over the back away from you and that tally will not move. Thanks T - I've done it often. What has amazed me this week, is that after almost 18 months away from a piece, I can recall exactly how many passes in the average tally (32) and how many pairs I needed in the various floral motifs. So now I have about half of the last side to do and will post some more photos as soon as the progress is worthwhile.

RE: [lace] Tamara's Toss
Thanks for update David, I have been wondering whether your Tonder piece was finished yet, another question as I hope to start making some myself shortly, I am an avid Bucks Point fan but try as I might I cannot detect what the essential difference is between Bucks and Tonder perhaps you could enlighten me.
