Hi, I am thinking of starting some Chantilly lace, which I have never done before. I have the workshop book by Lia Baumeister, and looking at it I am a bit confused. I have done Buckspoint, which is very similar, with quite a few stitches the same, but I am seeing with this book that some seem to be backwards. For one thing, the footside is on the left, while I am used to having the footside on the right. That should be easy enough to get used to, but what will really throws me off is that the ground stitch is done backwards, she does it TTTC, while with Bucks it is CTTT. Am I going to run into problems if I do it CTTT as well in the Chantilly? The same with the honeycomb stitch, which in Bucks is CTTpinCTT, but in the Chantilly is TTCpinTTC. Now I am wondering if this is just a quirk of Lia's or if Chantilly lace is really done different from Bucks. That really makes me question if I want to even attempt Chantilly, because I am going to have trouble remembering which way I am supposed to do the stitches depending on which lace I am working on.
