Morning Arachneans all
I like Clays comments on this (and Margots 'whatever'... I must look
up in my stitch book to find out how to work a 'whatever'.....)
Unless the lace is being entered for a competition... does it really
matter which way it's done, provided it looks good? I've been told to
'just be consistent in whichever way I work, provided the gimp is
trapped where I want it!!
I agree with Clay that there probably isn't that many of us on here
that are 'historically correct' so, make lace, enjoy it and love it
is my advice!
(Am now prepared to be shot down in flames, being a 'newbie'....)
Looking forward to the replies!

Regardless of how many people there seem to be on this list at any
given
time who are "experts", the simple fact is, that in all the world
there
are very few experts in any field of lace at any given time. If you
aspire to be an historically correct expert, that is one thing. But
if
you aspire to make beautiful lace, that's another thing altogether.
And
I submit that most of us just want to make beautiful lace.
So.... forge your own path, and enjoy!! AND... as Bev says, Post
again, post often!!
