The lesson for today was Chinese knots. To do this, you first need some covered piping cord. The first one I tried, I messed up. I panicked, it looked liked the end was sliding along the cord as I was pulling it back, so I stitched across to stabilise it, then realised, it was sliding down because it was doing what it was supposed to and was covering the cord. With all the effort I ended up with a blister, but in the end it was worth it.
I have two Chinese knots. I shall definitely make some more, finger permitting.
After that, it was onto something gentler, a hexagon making fest.
The little ones have already started appearing on the cloth, but there is more to do.
When I went up to damp stretch it at the end of the day, the first thing I saw was this:
a pile of pins where there shouldn't be any.
Apparently, Shylock decided this piece had finished damp stretching and he was going to help by removing the pins
