How many ........

......... attempts does it take to make one unit like this when you're trying to do it without having to make a template?







Answer?  Quite a lot. I got there in the end though. 

Mind you, I would rather not hear anyone saying they think it would have been quicker with a template.  I know it would, but my middle name is Stubborn.

  13. Dear Stubborn - I love the colours!
    Sorry to hear you've been poorly. I assume you are a bit better if you've been faffing with triangles!
    My Mum and Mum-in-law had cataracts and both swear by the little op with lasers. MIL went to play with her knitting wool as soon as she took the bandages off. She couldn't believe how bright the colours were - they'd faded so slowly she didn't realise.
