Lizbeth Size 10 - Color 714 (green)

- Color 670 (red).   Oh the berry - Will try again.

When I put the leaf with mistakes and without mistakes together, they look okay.  We were advised to leave the fiber tails 'on' for attaching.   They are interesting to create -- I need more green fiber!  Perhaps I should go on a fiber hunt.  Maybe I have green fiber in a different size.

 Here are two 'mistake' holly leaf patterns, + on leaf to 'edge'.   During the class, I was watching, knotting, checking the pattern, and kept moving along (ignoring mistakes).   Learned A LOT.  Berry beads for now.

My knotted berry pieces are a sight for sore eyes.   Found some berry beads and will use them (until I can master the knotting in the round).  

Have a large and small leaf beginning -- plan to put the holly leaf edge on.  Making the spikes is a lot of fun - trying to get them equal on both sides, a challenge.  Maybe they don't need to be exact.

I enjoy exploring this type of knotting w/large needle - following the sessions of edges ...

and the square pieces / doily, the shapes are wonderful to learn and create.
