Hi Susan and Lyn

You mentioned that the problem was the right side picots and, as Lyn passed
on, adding the extra twists helps.  While drawing out diagrams for making
picots I discovered that, when the threads go round the picot pin on the left
side of the lace, the number of twists is increased by one and if you
originally made five twists you now have six. When you make the picot on the
right side the number of twists around the picot pin is decreased by one and
if you originally made five twists you now have only four.  So if you wish to
have the same number of twists around the picot pins on the right then make
two more twists on this side and if you make seven twists you now have six,
the same number as when you make five twists on the left side.

Sounds complicated? Don’t worry, ignore the theory, enjoy making lace

Alex
