Hello Diana,
Thanks so much for the help. I definately have more than enough bobbins for
60 to 70 pairs, so I guess its time to start winding.
I was aware of working the mat in sections, but thank you for pointing out
where it was started/finished. I had trouble finding the starting point until
you pointed it out -- was quite obvious then.
I have spent so much time making things for others I decided it is finally
time to make something for myself.

Hello Helene
I haven't worked that particular mat but I would think that approximately
sixty pairs plus gimps. Its hard to say because more pairs will be added for
the flower which come half way through a segment.
Just in case you don't know this sort of mat is worked 'around' - hanging in
from the centre hole across to the outside edge and you complete each
section at a time before moving on to the next section. If you look
carefully you can see in the picture where it has been finished off half way
up the right-hand side.
It should be nice to work with all that honeycomb - might try that one
sometime ;o)
I'm sure you'll get a big response with help but if I can help at all just
ask.
Good luck
