Hello Liz (and everyone) I might have done, although not knowing the name. I do remember making a pointy plaited edge for an Idrija lace where it seemed optional to use a pinhole at the point within the plait, or plait around the pin at the point but that won't answer your question... a google search for 'trident edge' turned up a reference to Margaret Hamer's Pillow Lace (in Google Books) if that will help?
