Hi Lana, the two blocks are in the centre....well there are actually 3 sections with blocks in them....the outside set are threaded like Swedish lace....121214 and the centre one is threaded like Bronson lace...141412. So cool all those elements in one piece :)
Hope this helps, Cheers, Jane

Thanks Jane! I think I get it. Just needed to squint my eyes, tilt my head, and shift perspective a bit :-)

Hi Nina.....This project uses everything we’ve learned about all the laces this year. On the sides of the project we have ABC (Bronson Spot) units progressing in a diagonal line just like a twill, they are single unit 1212, 1313, 1414 etc. . In the centre there are blocks...made up of units threaded over and over...that is what makes the block. The first one is threaded like Swedish Lace 121214, 121214 over and over....the centre one is threaded like Bronson Lace which is threaded 131312, 131312 and then we have another block of A which is the Swedish Lace Block.....so yes there are 3 blocks in the centre but they aren’t all in the same place. When we weave the first and third block something else is happening in the middle...and when we weave the middle one something different is happening where A and C are.

It is good to remember that there is a difference between a unit and a block. A unit is a set of threads that makes somes in the cloth....if you think back to the previous episode 131312 is a unit of Bronsons Lace...we can thread it over and over and it then becomes an A Block...made up of A units. If we thread 141412 over and over it becomes a B Block. We use units to make a block. We are going to be studying a lot more of this next year. I hope this helps.

The really special part of this episode is that when you study all the lace weaves independently (like we have been doing) then we can learn to put them all together in one piece. This piece is made up of Bronson Spot.....then we take the A unit of Bronson Spot and turn it into Swedish Lace by tying it down with the 4..that allows us to repeat it again and again.....and then we throw in the Bronson Lace 131312 to make a block in a different place :). It also really helps to do drawdowns of these structures, I always do that so II understand how it all works.

Thanks for your reply Jane. I think I get it and I am sure that once I start weaving it will become clearer (I understand more when I do it)! I am just going to make the warp today.

You will get it as soon as you start to weave it.....I understand when I do things too. Have fun :)
