Dear Jenny,
I've worked that hanky pattern and found the different approach to
working a hanky edging fascinating. For those that haven't seen
it - it is worked top to bottom like a mat - not around - starting
at one corner and working diagonally across to the opposite corner -
adding pairs on the outside and throwing out on the footside in the
top half and the reverse of the lower half. The lovely thing is that
there isn't a join at the end - just a few pairs to sew in!! I've
played with the idea with a number of Australian Wildflowers as it
solved my design problems getting motifs to work the way I wanted to!
I guess I didn't read the instructions and am working it in the usual
way. In doing so, however, I'm finding heaps of occasions when I'm
forced to use Elwyn Kenn's "Looper" technique. I'm halfway through
turning the first corner and frankly am about to throw away the
working diagram and just making it up myself. Might be forced to yet :)
Thanks
David in Ballarat
