Following Jane's question about rose ground. Another thought has come to
me.We all know the most common symbols for features of, a dot in the
centre of a space for a tally or a mayflower, a diamond for Roseground, a
circle for honeycomb etc., but I wondered if anyone had their own favourite
The rose ground I use for beginners is, following your sequence
A CTC
B CTC
1 CT, pin CT
2 CT, pin CT
3 CT, pin CT
4 CT, pin CT
C,,, CTC
D,,, CTC

on the different stitch as well as the sequence
Same stitch throughout do you perhaps use CT at the corners instead
of CTC?
I wondered more if anyone uses or prefers one of the less common forms,
than who does the same as me, and if so, what stitch combinations they
use?

this person's English is OK, but I'm afraid there will be translation
problems. Is there anyone out there would would speaks Italian and can

Thank you to several people who advised me of ways to remove the oil stains
off of the carpet, which is now clean and looking good.
Since then I had some dental work and have since found a small blood spot on
the shoulder of a blue cotton blouse, so would things like vanish rubbed in

Historically the Italian bobbin laces are Genoese (the source for Cluny), a
braid/plait based straight lace, Milanese tape lace and simpler peasant tape
laces. Modern Italian lace seems to be 90% tape lace of the kind which uses a
constant number of bobbins (no adding or removing pairs). The
