So, the position of the raised tallies it's still not enough of an indication (for me, anyway) of whether the lace was worked with footside on the left-hand side or on the right-hand side...

Hi Spiders,
Just to throw a monkey wrench in this whole business of raised tallies and determining the direction a piece of lace was worked in. . .
I tried a piece of Rosaline and was inspecting a sample that I had purchased last year at IOLI. What I found was this, while Rosaline is a part lace and the technique ties off the ends of the threads from each flower or leaf section, the piece I have has the tied off tails on both the front and back sides of the lace (if it, indeed, can be said to have a front and back side at all). The knotted ends are pretty small and not noticeable, but I was really surprised when I saw that.
Just when I thought it was safe to get into the water.
