Oh Ladies - all of you have been very kind about my French Braid. Thank you for all your wonderful comments.
It is 8.15am here in the UK. It is cold, but I think the snow is melting a bit. Lynnie25 - I am very envious of you going through your summer - I would give my eye-teeth to see a bit of sunshine right now!
jljack - I have the cutting and piecing instructions which I got from a class. The instructions are not really very clear, and I was going to re-write them sometime, but you are welcome to them - just PM me with an email, and I will scan them in and send them via attachment. This was the first French Braid that I have done, and so was a bit of a sharp learning curve. However, I think the results were worth it!
Just so that you know that there really IS snow on the ground, here is a pic of outside our house ...
