It was my first time preparing a class curriculum and being filmed, and I was very nervous about the whole thing. Ho

I have finished with my 2nd Lesson. Very interesting one too. Had to tat 5 different lengths of Ring and Chain with a variety of Picots and Joinings. I used the same number of stitches for all of my Rings and Chains so the effects would be more noticable. These little bits will come in handy when it comes time to actually design my own work.
