Another sample finished & posted--yay! The Luton Treasury is a terrific way to experience this collection. And there are three more volumes--thank you Sally Barry! All are in the IOLI library, along with the Luton Museum book (photos of the collection), so I look forward to working more samples from each. Many thanks to Jocelyn who referred me to Underwood for help with my square tallies. They are somewhat improved, although tension-ing them in a sea of pins remains a challenge. In spite of my grooming efforts, errant loops appeared the moment the pins were removed. Ugh. Lyn Bailey has also promised to show me her Binche method of making them, by which time I shall be well & truly tallied. Between squares & leaves, I need to make hundreds--thousands?!--more to become proficient. After a bit more research, I now see there are ladder tallies & gate tallies--who knew? The gate style worked well for this pattern. Because the weaver finishes on the opposite side, it results in an! odd number of passes, therefore a slightly deeper tally. They are very pretty, sort of like an old fashioned hat veil with scattered dots. Sincerely, Susan Hottle FL, USA
