Most interesting, thankyou Rosemary - are these pins really c. 1700's ? And a question I've not had successfully answered - how does one use striver pins? if the striver pin is in the pricking in advance of the lace being made, how does one work around it - wouldn't it be in the way ? I would use it after the fact - marking the start point and end point of a repeat already made, using the end point as the next start point, and leap-frog the strivers as the lace portion is finished. Perhaps someone who uses striver pins could elaborate please!
