For me this is followed by a quiet internal comparison of this method with other methods I've learnt, usually leading to a decision to carry on doing it the way I have been. Double thread picots have lots of methods - I've learnt different ways in Honiton, Beds/Bucks and Flanders - but I can't detect any difference in the appearance. So after giving any new method a try out in class I revert to doing them the way I like. -- There is no need to do any housework at all. After the first four years the dirt doesn't get any worse.
