[lace] Gravenmoerse update

2008-07-13 Thread viv . lace
Dear All
I've finished the second Gravenmoerse Bookmark - October
I've
uploaded the full picture for those interested.
But I had some trouble with
the special half-stitch netblock things when taking pairs in and out, there
seems to be too much thread!. I've put a high resolution detail of the book
mark which shows what I mean
http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/photo/2407634650048870129QsSjZy
Can any of
you who know how to do this lace properly give me any hints on what might be
amiss?
I'm making this one again with a torchon half-stitch trail in for the
chevrons and halftitch spiders inside the big squares!
Many thanks

Hi Viv -

I think I see your problem.  It looks like you started correctly, and 
the first and second pins are in the right places.  But I think you  may 
have made your mistake at the third pin.  Here, you should have put 
another twist on the outside pair of the trail, put up a pin, and then 
worked half-stitch across, NO pin at the end of that row.  That would 
have established the width of your trail, and all of your threads would 
be in the right place.
