I have just got this same magazine from Jilly!!!!! Guess who is trying it out next?
Perhaps we could start a "Learning hardanger SAL" - there are a few of us interested, I think.

Stunning!!!

I would love to try hardanger, but it looks so complicated and the ones I've seen as patterns don't really seem to explain it in idiot terms, so I can't see me trying it out anytime soon.

I know what you mean they assume that you know what a kloister block or wrapped bar ! etc means?

Hardanger looks hard, but its basics are not. Can you count to five and seven? Of course you can. See? You can do hardanger, too!

Counting to five and not four has been the reason Mr has taken up residence in my house whenever I work on my Roses Runner project

Beautiful work! Can't believe it's your first try . . .
