frustration, just some "what about this" kind of statements.
The way I end bookmarks: I do patterns that come to a central point at the

pair from one edge and CTC through all the other pairs on that side. Place a
support pin just below the point of the lace, unwind enough of th

I don't have that book but I think I can answer some of your questions
In Section 1, Thienpondt does not define the stitches.
