That's It!

I think I'm happy with it now.  I like the shape.  At Lynn's suggestion, I made "chained" JKs which stay in place much better and I've adjusted the stitch count a bit more.



Next I'll show you a block of four to see the design that forms when you put them together.

What do you think?

Best wishes,

    It's great! What is a chained JK? Do you have a link as to how that's done? I can't wait to see it "four-up".

    Hi Michelle,

    Chained JKs are simple really: instead of making your knots as a ring like regular Josephine knots, you just make them as a chain which you snug up then re-attach it where you started. Basically a chain with only the second half of the double stitch. Does that make sense?

    Glad you like it!

    Thank you Diane, yes, they are "neater", aren't they? In this instance anyway.

    Hi Tattabugg, thank you! I really like your pretty pansy shuttle.
