The discussion of Het Lassen was very timely! I have been re-learning lace after stopping for a dozen years or so, and have been toiling away on a piece of wide torchon. It is going fairly smoothly now, but turning that first corner wasn't pretty! (I had never actually done a corner before having only made straight lengths). I was toying with the idea of just continuing around and remaking that wonky first side with its' embarrassing corner and then cutting off the offending bits, but I wasn't sure how to go about it. How nice to know that it is a perfectly acceptable way to clean up bad start. I feel rather like a child who played hooky from school, only to discover that it was a holiday anyway! I love that my plan, which felt vaguely like cheating, turned out to be a legitimate fix with its own lacemaking term and everything! ;) Thanks to all for the info.
