Hi Debbie and Spiders Think in fours...starting with the second from the left every time...take "one over" ...then picking up #2 and #4...take "two back". So whole stitch, or cross and twist (for me) was always "one over, two back". The extra twists were called just that...an extra twist. I was wondering if anyone else learned with this terminology?
Yes I've heard this one before, I've also heard "One to the right, Two to the left etc" The CT system is all very well but the some of the charm and mystery of lacemaking becomes lost. I have always believed that lacemaking has it's own language, and we all speak our own dialect of that same language. So I'm afraid for me it will always be a Devonshire dialect - whole stitch, half stitch and leadworks rather than tallies. Some one a few days ago said that CT was easy - like binary !! I find a string of CTCTTT just as difficult to uderstand "at a glance" as 1010 I have to work hard to figure out that it means a whole stitch and three twists or simply the number 10 Yours old fashionedly Annette in Melbourne [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
