I'm about to return to the edging again but really this is due to inspiration given to me by the latest copy of Shuttle to Shuttle. This little magazine is published in order to keep some of the groups in the U.K. in touch with each other. I think it must be like the Palmetto fronds!
Now, the main reason I'm thinking about this today is that inside issue 4, which I received on Thursday, there is a small edging called 'Little Maids all in a Row' by Jennifer Williams. This pretty but simple edging has made me realise yet again where I am going wrong with mine. Mine is too complicated! Typical of me - I can never 'think simple'!!! So I'm going back to look at it again!! This is the one I'm talking about (below).
I'm now using a different 'tactic' on myself by drawing it up in order to make myself think long and hard on what I'm doing. I've already spotted that I don't need to use the CTJ in this particular 'version'. I DO like the lower part of this edging but it's the top that concerns me most. If I now 'space' the parts out a bit it may look better - less cluttered. The problem I can see thanks to the drawing is that the sections might not join to each other easily at the bottom - perhaps a ring on a SR or a chain may help OR AM I GETTING TOO COMPLICATED AGAIN!?!?!?!? Hey, ho, time to give the brain a rest and go out for a walk!!!
