My favourite Ground is rose ground. Looking down on it reminds me of a
diamond seen from above as in a ring!!

I, too, really like honeycomb. It's my favorite part of point ground designs.
I'm also very fond of brabant ground, which is sort of the torchon equivalent
of honeycomb.
But I'm also very fond of half stitch. I love the way it looks as you go from
wide to narrow, or work around a curve.

In one of my web walks I saw a photo of a tally aid - it was a elongated
triangular piece of plastic with 4 slots in it, one at the rounded off
pointed end and the other three evenly spaced over the opposite flat end. I
am guessing the idea was to bring your 4 threads through the first slit,
Hmmm that would explain it! I love Bridget Cook's book, and use it
often... but only when I'm into a new pattern and encounter something I

it to refer to. I'm looking forward to being home again tomorrow...

Hi Clay!
I believe you come across them most often in Honiton lace; the more
common name for them being Blossom fillings. At the point where 2 braids
cross, you work 4 picots before continuing with the braids. It makes a
frilly little crossing, and when an area is full of them, it is so sweet

And the connection with honeycomb stitches in lace - that is, with white

My very favourite stitch is half-stitch. I like it that a few pairs can
expand to fill a void, and condense at a narrow bit. I like to work it CT,
or TC, of a piece and know that the appearance will be the same.
I have other favourites, depending on what I'm working on. The star ground
is lovely.
Hello David,
how amusing after giving a class in design I was so full of energy
that I, at least, looked how to work my Czech castle. And what do you
think the murals on which the castle still stands but today are deeply
in water but I will show the origin, I decided to work in .

Dear Friends,
Don't you just love doing Honeycomb stitch??? I do.
I did a big mob of it today. I just find it so gorgeous with it's
tessellating hexagons - not to mention the way it fills whole areas so quickly.

Easy to do if there are passive pairs at the edges, as you can just add an
extra passive pair on each side. With 16 pairs instead of 14 total:- if there
are 4 passive pairs on either side of a central pattern braid, you will now
have 5 passive pairs on each side, not 6.

Can you please tell me if it is possible to use a 14 braid pattern and change

the first 4 pairs I would then take it through the fir
