Well done!!

Funny thing is I've been trying to do Greek Cross on my Hardanger knot garden....couldn't understand the written instructions at all! :doh:
I looked on You-tube and found a video with great instructions! All I need to do now is Practice! :D

it's a Spanish site but there's no commentary.

:applesauce: :applesauce: Congratulations. That is an achievement. 10 yrs isn't that long, took me 20 to finally get it consistently right and that is thanks to Mabel.

Congrats!! It took me a long time to get it right as well, and there are still times when I can't seem to do it.
