Hi Jane -
I have studied s'Gravensmoer lace with Susan Wenzel, who has taught this
lace for a number of years now. She was trained in the Netherlands, and
has helped translate the Dutch books on this lace.
In the materials I received in 2007, during a workshop, there was this
explanation:
"Rose Ground: A 's Gravensmoer Lace rose ground is what is known as
honey comb in Torchon. Half stitch, twist both PRS one time and pin.
Close with a half stitch and twist both PRS one time."
Note: the intermediate moves to complete the rose ground pattern are
not described above... this only describes the entering and exiting
stitches.
Hope this helps...

Brenda, Alexandra Stillwell's book also says it is the simplest of
rosegrounds. How can we argue with all this proof that fond de vierge is other
than a simple roseground. If anyone from the Netherlands familiar with
'sGravenmoer can come forward and say otherwise, we will go with plain
roseground.
Thanks!!

Life is like a roll of toilet paper.
The closer it gets to the end, the
faster it goes.
So have fun, think 'good thoughts' only,
learn to laugh at
yourself and count your blessings!
