Dear David,
The passives that are between your coarse thread and the footside edge are
treated as a bundle with the coarse thread in chantilly. You go through the
coarse thread and passives together as if they were a gimp thread. You
don't do chantilly like bucks. I would like to see your work
Hurray, David!!
Don't forget the traditional photo of David making lace au naturel!! It
always help me set the seasonal clock... hmmm, David's peeled out of his
clothes, must be getting warmer down under!

Hello David and everyone
When you work through your 14 pairs at the picot side g are you weaving
through them or are you wrapping the weaver pair over most? If you aren't

David,
Could humidity or the lack thereof be an issue? I have had more problems with thread
breakage when I lived in more arid environments and would use a plant mister to
periodically spray my threads. My lace is very happy now that I've moved to a much
more humid environment -- although I

Hadn't thought of that - sounds like a great time saver too. I'd been
weaving all the way. Now could you please just explain in a
Hi David (and list)
Yes, to your first idea, one worker over, one under - which gives what I
call a wrapped effect, or more correctly is twined, especially if you go
around each pair in this manner - but yes you can go one over one under
all pairs (or several groups) except the several nearest

all pairs (or several groups) except the several nearest the headside to

and I meant CTC through the passives (per usual) *not* the picot (in case
