Hi Linda and everyone
Thank you for the details about Ulrika Lahore's book on coloured bucks

Thanks for the heads-up Clay. A very interesting
item.
From the last picture, it looks to me that the center
cloth is tacked in. Does that really make much sense?

May I put forth another idea as to what the square is. Could it possibly have
been used as a cover for the chalice or some other item in the Catholic Mass.

I was taught that when doing a Bruges tie-off you start at the end which is
least visible, for example if one edge is on the inside and the other end is

where the worker has ended up so when you reach the worker it can be
tensioned snugly for a neater join. However, I still vote for starting
where the final knot would be less noticeable.

Now that the household is gone, I might even finish up this black Shetland
