Got there in the end!!!


I finally finished Mimi's square and this time it actually turned out square which is great progress!!!  Perhaps BC3 is back on form again and is now reading patterns properly!!

I'm still not happy with clunies but am now ready for Mimi's improvement class at Tat Days - that is, if I haven't forgotten how to make them again by then!!!!  Must thank Bernice properly (without teasing) for inspiring me to make this journey.  If she hadn't blogged about the clunies here a week or so ago I would STILL be 'thinking' about doing some before I meet Mimi.  I didn't want to be in the situation of having to do mind boggling things like this mid Atlantic in a panic!

Mine aren't very good even though I did them (as I thought) very, very carefully but at least they're done. Not being a 'fan' of picots I took them out of the outer chains. Didn't want to detract from the sheer simplicity of the pattern.

The pattern reminds me of the Magic Square - congratulations on finishing it so beautifully. And squarely.

Well your initial dislike of clunies (yes you told me that), has blossomed into a beautiful piece of work. Will we be seeing more clunies?!

The mat looks good to me! My clunies still look pathetic. I still have a month to work on them, though!
