[lace] leaves

[Tess Parrish]

I have been making leaves in the Brioude style for quite a while now.  
However, I can't bring my right thumb over to pick up the bobbins. ( 
This has to do with what must be arthritis in the thumb joint.)  So, 
when I turn my right hand over to pick up the bobbin, I grasp it with 
my two first fingers, not using the thumb at all, and it seems to work 
just fine. Also, I hook my little fingers around the outside threads of 
the leaf to hold them taut.  I think I may remember that in Brioude 
they used the first two fingers to hold those threads, but since my 
thumb is useless I have had to switch things around a bit.  I hope this 
makes sense and helps a bit.
