Thank you all for solving my problem! After viewing Lorelei's diagrams & pg 147 of Practical Skills, I understand what tripped me up. I had Idrija on the brain--where each successive passive is used as the weaver following a temporary pin. That didn't work with 6 prs in which one pair was

What I like to do if it is a tight turn is to work to the inside of the curve, do one twist then leave that pair -no pin. **Pick up the last passive pair you worked through and use it as the worker out to the edge and back to the middle going through all pairs, one twist on the worker. Repeat

One book which I don't think has been mentioned is Bridget Cook's Russian Lace Making, which has an introductory section explaining the techniques followed by plenty of patterns. The instructions look fairly clear and comprehensive (I have a copy but have never got round to using it). Anyone

I don't know for sure but I think such mats could be made on bolster pillows, which give more leverage on making the bigger pieces. You can have quite a long, round bolster, and/or you can move the pattern about as required. Or - you build on the lace in units or piecework. Does anyone know
