Dear Patty, Yes I love honeycomb. (David, are you working on the Toender again?) Not yet - just had to whack out a Bucks Point bookmark for a woman at my sister's workplace, and was revelling in the honeycomb. Still have a few months left on the petit point portrait I'm doing before getting

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. Perhaps you have a favourite stitch you'd like to tell us about David in Ballarat

Jean 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,

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

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.
