e space, and work 2 R D, L, 2 R D; repeat until
there are 66 Ls on each side. Fasten it neatly into a circle, by untying
the first knot and sewing the threads to each other.

_To unite this strip to the centre-piece._

_1st. Row._ _Fill both shuttles and join._ With the figured shuttle
thread round the little finger make a L with the plain shuttle thread; 3
D join to _any_ L of the strip, 3 D; L, with the plain shuttle thread; 3
D join to the 1st space to the right of the last join. 3 D (L with the
plain shuttle thread; 3 D join to the next L to the right; 3 D 4 times).
Begin an oval, with the figured shuttle, 3 D join to the next 2 Ls of
the strip; 3 D draw tight; 3 D join to the next L of the strip; 3 D tie
to the last L of plain shuttle thread; 3 D join to the next L of the
strip; 3 D tie to the last L, but one, of plain shuttle thread (3 D
join to the next L of the strip; 3 D, L, with the plain shuttle thread;
twice); 3 D join to the space, next the last L to which you joined, 3 D.
Repeat this row 6 times, or until all the Ls of the strip have been
joined in.

_In the repetitions, read "the next" instead of "any" in the first
join._

_2nd Row._ Hold the work in the hand, and between each oval continue
working with the figured shuttle thread round the little finger. 3 D, L,
3 D tie to the last L of plain shuttle thread, 3 D. Begin a plain oval
with the figured shuttle, 3 D, L, 3 D draw tight. 3 D tie to the next L
of plain shuttle thread, 3 D. Take the figured shuttle and tie to the L
of the plain oval, leaving about 1/4 inch of cotton. Begin an oval
(close to this tie), 7 D, take the centre circle and join to the space
over any of its ovals; 7 D draw tight. Tie as before to the L of the
plain oval; 3 D tie to the next L of plain shuttle thread, 3 D. Begin a
plain oval, with the figured shuttle; 3 D join to the L of the 1st plain
oval (this will be the 3rd tie in the same L); 3 D draw tight. 3 D tie
to the next plain shuttle L; 3 D, L, 3 D tie to the next plain shuttle
L, 3 D. Begin an oval with the figured shuttle; 3 D join to the next
space (to the right) of the centre piece; 3 D draw tight. 3 D tie to the
next L of plain shuttle thread; and repeat this row 6 times, or until
you have joined to the 12 spaces of the centre circle--fasten off.
