Okay. I'll try this. I was going right to left but perhaps towards me will be easier. It's the grip on the needle that's bugging me. I'll put my little thumb on the inside curve and go for it.
Thimblebug, I did see that site. Alas, it didn't have the information I was looking for.
Pocoellie, Practice? Ah, shucks! I wanted to be the expert right off the bat! Ha! I know better! really! Basically this quilt is my practice quilt. I figure by the time I finish I'll either really like tying or not. One way or the other I will know!
