Jean In one of my web walks I saw a photo of a tally aid - it was a elongated triangular piece of plastic with 4 slots in it, one at the rounded off pointed end and the other three evenly spaced over the opposite flat end. I am guessing the idea was to bring your 4 threads through the first slit, separate the threads so that one goes into each of the 3 slots held closest to you with the forth thread doing the weaving between. I have never got around to making one but it has stuck in my mind that it would be doable. What do you think?

I've made 5 square tallies so far, and have had to remake four of them 5 or 6 times before they stayed square(ish). I find all tallies extremely difficult to make because of arthritis. But I'm determined to finish the sample - however long it takes. :-D Jean in Poole, Dorset, UK - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
