I am amazed at the skill.

when I first see the art. I wondered how it was done. Then when I begin to look at the handiwork envolved I think I can do that.

Then I tried without taking the time to truly teach myself well. I just did some surface reading and skimming. I just was not successful at all. My attempt was the heart shape.

Now I have a friend who is going to take the time to show me the correct way to do the counting of the stitches.

and I will attempt to learn from you as well.
