I’ve just started to lead up my piece. This is the most difficult stage as unlike knitting where if it doesn’t quite fit you can give a little tug this is not possible with glass. My tutor is still at the stage where she’s really not sure if I’m going to do this, me, well I know I’ll do it. I know I’ve had dire warnings all the way through that this was too complicated a piece for a beginner, but then who starts to knit socks when they are learning to knit..

At long last you get a view of the whole thing even if it is a bit jumbled up.

And aren’t hubby’s carrots fab. Not quite finished, he’s just cementing them in but they do look good.
