Love the effect that using a different number of strands gives - especially in the symrnas! Can't wait to see your net update!

Thanks for your lovely comments everyone. I wasn't actually aiming for a wintery tree, I was thinking more White Tree of Gondor :)
Will get started on the Rice stitch tomorrow, and see how far I get :)

Ohh, I like the White Tree of Gondor idea. As a Tolkien fan, I approve! :wub:
