It is my understanding that an afficot is used in needle lace to polish the
stitches after the whole thing is completed, specifically the buttonholing on
the cordonnet. You use the rounded knobby end for this. You want a tool with
no points or edges which could catch the threads and snag them.
David,
If you could get your friend to video you doing a square tally that would be
brilliant. Although I do leaf tallies when I want them in a pattern I
almost always skip the square tallies if I can. I have spent time over the
years working at individual items like spiders to improve and

I don't think you need a separate video of the square tallies; they will be
worked in much the same ways as the leaf ones.
The only difference will be that on the first row where David is balancing
the pull between the two passives around the pins with the worker and he
pulled it to a

It happened to me too, and I wondered why. After some experimenting,
I found that you can go to the right hand side of the Youtube page
where the black/blank video is and click on the name of the person who
made the video (in blue) and the video will come up. I clicked on

find Davids, but what a wealth of information
Quite amazing...for lace as well as other thread methods.
I keep remembering the days when there were so many who worked in

So far as I can make out they will only work if you are connected
to the internet! YouTube don't want people storing videos on their
computer. They will only be removed if either the publisher or the
site wish it! In other words, if Tess or David have it removed or

When I view a video on YouTube, and a few other RealPlayer based sites, I move
the pointer over the video to get a button on the upper right that says
Download this Video. I click on this and the video is downloaded to my

Hi Ilske, and everyone else.
I have saved both Tess and David's video on my harddrive, and I did
check that they still work when I am not online. I have a Mac. What
I did was, I went through the http://keepvid.com website, and saved
them on my harddrive. That seems to work just fine,
I believe a couple of these were pointed out to me on another forum.
But in the name of completeness here is my current list of leaf videos with a
request for others to send any others they may know about.

Nice video David. Before I saw a demo of making a talley, I used your method
of the two pins to keep the tension on the outer passives.
Clay, when finishing a square talley, do you make the half hitch on the worker
pair or the passive pair?

Are there any rules to membership to the list, as far as members soliciting

prefer that if someone has an event, they share it with the group for the
common good of all, whether taken or ignored. Some lists allow these

years ago but all in one color, and now I am making it again and I

The one thing to remember with square tallies, to get them to look good, is to
have the centre passive change sides.- if you use bobbin #2 as the worker,
then it must end in the #3 spot, and the #3 passive will then become #2. (I
hope this is clear.

Dear Tess,
This is in Fri Knipling. I cannot read German, but the color picture
shows parts of the flowers around the roots are in Violet, and parts of the

Any questions of this sort, please direct to me privately. If you have
