Hello All! Finally after many months of good intentions, I dragged out the Honiton pillow to find a partially completed leaf. Now--where was I when I abandoned this project more than a year ago? Good question! After consulting my hand written notes that are now Greek to me, plus several books, I plowed ahead. The leaf is the type that has a center rib with leadwork & sharply pointed lobes on each side. Problem is--after adding new pairs & working back to the center, the work was developing an unsightly slant. Somewhere along the way, I have heard that raised sewings may be made into each set of "side bars" so I tried it & it's looking much better. Question--is this an appropriate way to solve the problem in Honiton? The teacher's instructions didn't address this situation at this point in the pattern. Back stitch was called for in an earlier section, but I was already well beyond that point in the pattern. Since the project is so old, perhaps I didn't do enough ba! ck stitch earlier & just noticed the slant as I added more rows today. Suggestions are welcome. Sincerely, Susan Hottle, Palm Beach Gardens, FL, USA where it was cloudy & breezy but 70* today
