Apart from moving my pillow from one place where it's in the way to another, I haven't touched it since Christmas time! I've been so busy this year with university stuff and kayaking that I haven't found the time to sit at my pillow at all :-/ It doesn't help that the pattern that's on there (a small Beds round thing) is almost finished and all I've got to do is end it all off, which I absolutely hate! :o) ====================================================== My goodness Helen, The only thing that caught my eye in your last sentence was "end it all". I'm awake now! LOL!!! I know what you mean, about ending Beds, and Torchon, too, for that matter. I entirely skipped Beds and Torchon as a newbie because I couldn't make a clean ending. I hate those lumps and bumps. Now that I know how to end properly, it isn't such a chore. I subscribe to Ulrike's methods. See her "Beginning of the End". The number one technique is to not make loops as if to make a sewing. You have to make a loop to make a sewing because you have to keep going. But at the end, make sure the pair you are tying off has the right number of twists, take the left thread and wind off a long enough thread to comfortably tie knots with. Now cut the left thread. Instead of taking a loop, just bring the end of the left thread through the pinhole, tie a knot and repeat with the next pinhole. Patty Dowden Santa Clara, California.
