Hi Joan and other Arachnids,
A pin chain is as Jean Nathan says a way of working a ring when one of the
pairs needs to stay in the ring as there is no pair outside the ring in the
right place to work with it. Basically you work it within the honeycombe
ring as follows; half stitch and twist, pin, half stitch, pin, half stitch
with the same two pairs. It is usually shown on the diagram as a kind of
figure of 8. It can be worked on either left or right side of the ring. Hope
that helps.
Happy lace making,
Joepie, East Sussex, UK.

Subject: [lace] lace term question
Hi all,
I was looking at a Bucks pattern that I'd like to start & see a term that I
haven't seen before even though I have been making Bucks for years. I hope
someone can explain this term to me.
The written instruction says...."work honeycomb ring with a* pinchain* on
the left side" Pinchain is the term I'm asking about.
Thanks for any help.
Joan
