[lace] Trident Edge
I asked a few days ago about a Trident edge. Well, yesterday I was looking through some IOLI Bulletins - looking for something else, - and came a cross a series of articles on Figurative Reticella bobbin lace by Susan Lambiris - and there, beautifully worked and diagrammed was exactly what I was looking for! As I have already started the piece, and worked the trident how I thought it must be worked - similar to a piece in the little blue Cluny book by Rutgers, - I am very happy to fine I am correct, and that is how Susan shows to work these spikes. So - I haven't reinvented the wheel after all! But it is a nice feeling to find I am on the right track. Thank you to those who offered advice when I initially asked.

Fw: [lace] Trident edge
I am also struggling with the edge of this current piece of lace, I cant work out how to get the bobbins into the work and looking like the pictures with very little instructions. I attempted to change the passive threads to a slightly thicker gimp so will change that back and maybe it will become clearer. I dont even know what its called although when I read this Trident edge i remembered I have the bobbin lace stitches book so checked that. Not in there, :-( It has a triangle of 3 pin holes 2 inside the 2 passive threads and one outside. Every other pinhole around the outside of the edge. The next pinhole is out slightly further so you get a sort of mini suspension bridge look to that second pinhole. If it doesn't work tonight I am going to have to do something different that will work. It does look quite effective but I wont let it stop me working this piece, :-( Sue T On Wed, Aug 15, 2012 at 6:57 PM, Elizabeth Ligeti lizl...@bigpond.com wrote: Has anyone done a Trident edge on their plaited lace?

Re: [lace] Trident edge
Elizabeth, I am not familiar with the term Trident, but wonder if it is the same as a trefoil or little crown. Did you run into either of these terms? If so, they are made differently depending upon what type of thread you are using.

Re: [lace] Trident edge
Hello Liz (and everyone) I might have done, although not knowing the name. I do remember making a pointy plaited edge for an Idrija lace where it seemed optional to use a pinhole at the point within the plait, or plait around the pin at the point but that won't answer your question... a google search for 'trident edge' turned up a reference to Margaret Hamer's Pillow Lace (in Google Books) if that will help?
