Sue 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 poi

With the square, it helps when starting out to use temporary pins to support the pairs as you make the square shape, and again when you end. The end pair that are passives should be worked into the rest of the lace before the end pair that has the weaver, so that the tally isn't pulled out of shape

Hi all, Just to add to the hints on making tallies, keep the passive threads nice and short while working the tally, you can handle/tension them all more easily and keep them evenly spaced with one hand while weaving the worker. Nicky in Suffolk - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] co
