I know that if I go any further I'll run out of thread but that's not the only reason. I really don't like it as it's too fussy for me. It took me a long time to work out the joins too as it's written in 'old fashioned' notation. This form of writing patterns was what I started the craft with and they were no real problem back in those days because they were all the same.
I remember that there was one very pretty butterfly in a French book that I have which, of course, I had to translate to English first. In those days computers weren't thought of and I had to work it all out with a pen and paper only to find that there was a big mistake in it!! So that's why I'm wary of the old notation now!!! I digress.
I will now look for another colour of thread that I have plenty of in my stash and will start again but with a LOT fewer picots!!!
