Making a leaf tally in Bobbin Lace.

There are many ways to make Leaf Tallies in bobbin lace. Different methods can be dictated by the style of pillow, the bobbins, palms up or down styles, and the ability of your own hands and mind to keep track of the tensions in these little woven almonds.  

One thing I learned was to not let the tally bully you, they can be wayward, eager for the worker bobbin to snag on pins, waiting for the tiny lapse of concentration which lets one bobbin get pulled a little more than it needed.  
This is the way I make my Leaf Tallies.
