Hi Bev-
I have Elsie Luxton's "The Technique of Honiton Lace", and chapter 8 is
"Leaves". But oddly enough, there isn't a "pattern 51" in the book.
Looking further, I found, "Honiton Lace Patterns" (also by Luxton), and
chapter 8 also addresses leaves, and pattern 51 is there... A "Leaf S

The fact that I had trouble with my sewings doesn't mean that I didn't

Putting in a magic thread was really not practical and would have put me

I have a pricking for a Honiton leaf sampler that has become separated from

Hello Miriam and everyone
How perfectly frustrating about the thread splitting and difficulty with
sewings . Others have mentioned magic threads but I think in the context of
putting them in ahead of time (thus this rainbow of colours to keep them
organized). Using a short length of sturdier threa
Jeri is right that using several colours of magic threads is better than all
one colour, especially if your lace is made of very fine threads where all
the pins are close together.
When using magic threads, I find it even easier if I use silk threads (e.g.
Piper's 90/3) rather than cotton. Si
Hi Miriam
First of all, Aurifil is a Z twisted thread; you may be a lacemaker who gets on

The pattern recommended Aurifil 12/2, so I got it also and started making

The fringe twister is a very clever variation on an electric or hand cranked
drill and a door handle. The only thing I'd do differently for a long cord
