That was a very interesting video!  I had seen tallies done by holding three
bobbins in place and essentially weaving one back and forth.  I taught
myself how to do leaf tallies by following the written directions in the
"Complete DMC Encyclopedia of Needlework".  At first I was quite confused
why my tallies ended up looking like normal braids!  I work with palms up
and have figured out a way to make tallies like that as well.  It would have
been much easier to do them your way!  I have to say though, that I didn't
know that tallies were supposed to be hard until I showed a sample edging to
my lace teacher.  She was surprised I had figured out tallies and told me
that they are considered hard.  Once I started thinking of them as being
hard, they suddenly became hard to do!
