Hello Pat, This is Russell Montgomery from Corpus Christi. I am a former member of the Austin Lacemakers. I believe there is a copy of *Colouring Diagrams by Vera Cockuyt* in the guild's library. It might have disappeared when we lost several books due to theft. If not, let me know and I should be able to get into the room where my lace books are kept and I can loan it to the guild.
I thought I wrote an article previously on the subject on Arachne and lucked out when I tried a search and found it. It summarizes the information from Vera's book. I hope it helps. The URL is http://www.mail-archive.com/lace@arachne.com/msg02930.html One of the questions that Vera answered for me is what stitch do you make when two different types of stitches come together. The answer is always the stronger stitch. In case of a whole stitch (CTCT) joing a cloth stitch (CTC) then you use the whole stitch. Same as a cloth stitch (CTC) meeting a half stitch (CT), then use the cloth stitch. Hope that helps. Russell Montgomery Now in Corpus Christi, Texas where it is sunny and 80 F.
