My first experience with working short rows and wrapping short rows. Did a little self educating - found the best examples at purlbee.com

Also, this was the first time I ever blocked anything. Wet, roll and pinning to dry did not work well on the piece with the bow - I ended up steaming and was able to finally flatten it out enough to finish.

Also a first for mattress stitch with the CO and BO ends.link text
