What you didn't notice is that I decided to get all fancy and do french knots instead of colonial knots. I think that would be the reason why I started it in 2011 and didn't pull it out again until the end of 2012. *ahem* I have to say, once I actually READ the chart and followed the colonial knot diagrams, I was able to do them w/o a problem. I used to do CK in place of FK, so don't know why I changed. Good luck!!<br /><br />Love your other ornament finishes! You go girl! I need to pull out my charts and get to more of them.Siobhánhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14664728276490470180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736705671514488281.post-75216502206228251972013-01-23T11:27:59.052-05:002013-01-23T11:27:59.052-05:00I have one word for you: beads.
