Susan, It's lovely! I sincerely love your sense of humor and determination!
I've seen too many people give up when their efforts are not perfect, and the
truth is that very few handmade items are perfect! We tend to be our own worst
critics! Congratulations on a job well-done!

Hello All! It's done, off the pillow posted to Flickr. OMG--at the end I
was laughing so hard I could hardly see to tie the knots! I am not displeased
with my first effort considering all the helpful advice (from you) angst (on
my part). Jacquie was quite right, the finish separates wheat
Susan,
It is a Milanese start, gives you a flat edge. Twist first two pairs, ctct
next two pairs,twist twice. Now take right hand pair and hang over next pin.
Hang two more pairs on same pin, twist left pair twice, tctc right pairs, twist
twice and hang right pair over next pin, etc. Your
Hello All! After working Honiton all weekend, I decided to tackle the pink
ribbon again. I've spent some time reading about starts in Practical Skills
can't find any that correspond to the 4-2-2-2-2-2 set up shown. Then I looked
for a straight start in the lace books in my cabinet came up
Whenever I've done a straight start in Honiton I've referred to the
photo and instructions in Cynthia Voysey's book, 'Honiton Lace, A
Practical Guide'. Everything else I managed with Elsie Luxton's
Introduction to... book (Batsford) but this one technique I found
Cynthia's instructions easier
Many thanks to Jacquie, Gon Maria for sharing their expertise/translations on
this pricking. Oh dear, there is indeed a slit in the second pattern! I've
never attempted this technique so I have some concerns about walking a
tightrope with no net! When I printed it out, it seems rather large
If you are too daunted by the slit, simply ignore it and overlap the ends,
hand stitching them together as you apply the pin to the back.

Hello All! Has anyone worked this pricking? The Google translate feature is
not helpful. It looks like one section of the braid slides thru another to
create the pink ribbon loop. Suggestions advice are welcome. Many thanks.

The Milanese, pattern A, one is made in two parts; long piece that cuves
round and joins to itself, the short piece joins to the other side of the same
bit of braid.
The cloth stitch one divides at the start of the line (get the second
worker using a turning stitch as you would for many
Thank you Jacquie! I couldn't tell from the picture what was happening with
the Milanese version. A crossover is a technique I've tried using Mrs. Read's
Lace Guild booklet so I'm good to go on that. Anything with a slit is beyond
me! I see what you mean about finishing the cloth stitch
