Done! My error was in the top half but I didn't see it until I unpinned everything. I was up until midnight working out the bottom. I'd weave and unweave, weave and unweave, weave and unweave.....but I did get the bottom right! And since the colors ended in the right places, I'm not sure that what I think was wrong was wrong. I'm going to do something different for awhile though.

Rosemary Shepherd's book has a section with several different braids so I think I'm going to do that for a bit. I also want to do some simple edgings so I can practice footsides and such. I realize now that bookmarks combine several different techniques so now I want to go back and learn more about them. I think it will help me in the long run rather than jumping into another "finished" project. I feel like I have a good start and a little more study will bring it all together.

I've been wanting to do some embroidery and needle lace too.....and RPL. And some beading.

I love this stuff!

I've been struggling with this for 3 weeks now. Well....since I only tackled it on Tuesdays and skipped one Tuesday for something else, I guess that's not really accurate. I got into the second half on Tuesday and realized something was wrong before I left Sally's so I backtracked and stopped. I got it out last night, backtracked a bit more and moved on, only to feel something still wasn't right. TWICE.

One thing that is really confusing about this pricking or any of them, for that matter, using a torchon ground in this book, is that the lines, the pinholes, are a bit off on the right side. The left side is fine. My colors are working out the same as in the book. When I edited the photo and enlarged it, I thought I missed a pin or two but I remember now that it specifically states there are certain places without a pair coming out. It's when the trail turns and I can see it above but forgot below and maybe that is another place I'm getting confused.

I am so close to being done and I don't want to do it again, for now anyway. I've decided I need to rework my pillow too. I might just make another one, a square or rectangular one. Plus finish my roller pillow and travel pillow. I'm certainly ready for something different!
