The pattern on my blog is one that takes up the entirity of my 24" pillow and moves really quickly - so it posed the problem of having to keep undoing and moving the acetate. The horseshoe was the very last thing that I bought at the NEC last year, and infact, only bought it because the nice lady on the stand suddenly, when I had bought my last bits from her, rummaged around under the stand brought it out and asked me if I knew what it was. I had no idea but as soon as she told me what it was and how much I bought it. Now I wish I'd bought 2!!
