*huge grin on my face*
OMG What have I done?
I thought I was clearing the mud from the water and now you have
swished and stirred it all up lol
I should have learned by now not to speak in absolutes when it comes to lace :)
*back to normal now*
You do mean 'cloth stitch and twist' or 'whole stitch and twist' = CTCT
not an animal called 'cloth-whole-stitch (with or without a twist)'
?
Yep, was too keen to impart my newfound wisdom :)
Then there is the 'linen stitch' - which is CTC to some and CTCT to
others, or TCTC depending on which continent.
and 'whole cloth' - describing the appearance of an area worked in CTC.
To make the mix more bubbly, there is 'whole throw' - which I think
refers to one pass across a row of the weaver pair.
Fortunately, half-stitch is always CT (or TC - depending...). Double
half-stitch is CTCT or TCTC. Sometimes 'whole' stitch is CTCT (if two
halves make a 'whole'), but by convention, most usually CTC.
Ok Bev, it definitely looks like I need to keep reading. :P
I only know how to do a few stitches and even they have varied names.
Check out my website if you want to see why I needed to go back to
basics. It is only as I was showing a beginner (even more so than me)
my lace that I began to realise that I was not doing it right myself :(
