Hi
Someone has asked me how to do a certain kind of tally. It was talked about
awhile ago - not the ladder or gate tallies. I thought I had kept all the
information, but cannot find it. Could someone possibly help? I seem to
think there was a demonstration of how it was done as well.
Thank
Hi Dianne and everyone
the cushion bit sounds like the ones referred to as pumpkin seed -
leaf-shaped tallies with the effect of ridges at the edges. Check out
the French methods (e.g. Cluny lace) of making leaf-tallies. One way
to achieve this appearance is to tension outwards firmly, when the
Hi Bev
Thank you. I think that is what she was referring to.
Kind regards

Hi Dianne:
I went through this a few years ago. I saw the pumpkin-seed tallies and liked
them, too, and now I make them all the time. The thread path is, of course, the
same as with any other way of making tallies; it is only the method that
creates the distinctive look.

Thanks, Tamara! That's a lot of useful information--I appreciate your taking
the time.
As I said to Sharon, I certainly still have a lot to learn! :-)

Yes it did. Leaves -- and other woven shapes, like triangles --
appear even earlier than 17c, at least in Genoese lace. By early 17c
they were fairly common. I'm pretty sure that the Parasole
Hello! Thank you David for the tally video! As much as I like the economy of
movement of the Brioude way, I don't think I could hold the bobbins between
my fingers because of the permanent crook in my repaired my right ring finger.

Thank you Tess. The big problems lacemakers have are often the related to the
technique of making them rather than the proces itself. This one proves my
point. If anyone has a particular problem try thinking of different ways of
making it and asking ofhers how they do it, you may find an answer.
Bev said I still need to work on picot-edged tallies
Please explain these tallies - they sound Intriguing!! I tend to get
unwanted picots sometimes (just loose loops on the sides!) - but a bit of
back-tracking, and I can then tension them up properly!!!
But to deliberately make picots

Hello Brenda, Sue and everyone else.
Thanks for the comments on continental way of making leaves and tallies.
Probably just me being silly, but when I tried both methods in thick
string, I could not tell why they were different.
So I am off to my pilow and have another go.

Hi Agnes,
The tallies aren't different. The techniques are different but the end result
is always the same - the threads follow the same path. I suppose some
lacemakers find the continental technique easier because you shouldn't need to
shorten any of the bobbins. I can make good tallies

Thanks to all who helped me get myself sorted on the leaves.
Managed to do two, then realized I should have brought in two new pairs,
only added one, so am now undoing the leaves again.
Good learning curve, I suppose.
Should know how to do leaves by the time I finish my small Beds circle!

I think you may be thinking of the continental method of crossing the
two centre bobbins, two twists oon the left hand pair, cross the middle
two then two twists on the right hand pair but whichever way you handle
the bobbins it's down to tensioning the two outer passives correctly.

Liz, Why don't you post the tips you gave Dee to the list? Dee didn't include
your tips in her posting. I'd LOVE some tips on leaves and tallies. Maybe I'd
get inspired to make some Beds.
Happy Lacemaking,

I always was told that the fat tallies were Maltese, and the long thin ones

Hi everyone and Sally who asked regarding:
the crescent and circular shaped tallies on page 105 of Bridget Cook's

I've tried the crescent tally ! They are fun to do. Definitely helps

PS. The leaf-shaped ones are also called Cluny leaves; in Honiton,

Tamara,
The Cluny tallies are long thin ones, Maltese tallies are shorter fat ones,
and Wheatear is the word you were looking for - used in Bedfordshire lace.
Wheatear tallies are pointed at both ends, barleycorn tallies, are long
tallies but square at the ends, which most of the old Beds
