Thanks Jean - I should have said that. Yes, things change in the headside,
but I'm looking at dots in the motif in the middle of the lace. The
unanimous consensus is to make the lace attractive rather than fitting the
regular grid. So everyone agrees with me - how wonderful!!!!!

Bucks is the only (to my knowledge) Point Ground lace which makes the
distinction between "geometric" and "floral". All other PG laces seem
to ignore that distinction and use the "stick to the regular ground for
as long as is feasible/sensible but the *result* is more important than
the measuring tape". Ie, "looks" trump the "rules"
But even in "geometric" Bucks you'll find that pin holes are shifted,
particularly at the headside, to give a more pleasing effect. I've seen
this in old Bucks prickings that I own and I seem to remember that Pam
Nottingham mentions it in one of her books but can't find where right
now.
