I had Camie's same experience...only with you tube videos. I ditto Liz's tips. There is a great tutorial on Cluck Cluck Sew (see our sew linky column). On the right side of her page there is a box (button) that says "finish a quilt", click on that and it will bring up a detailed pictured document that will guide you through it. Or you can come to Ohio and I can help you...babies are welcome also.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02489349088917620086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5209866624530135015.post-23685150823082549292012-01-16T21:08:03.225-06:002012-01-16T21:08:03.225-06:00Wow.

I was wrong. She threw the yarn down, I threw the instructions down and we sat down and cursed knitting. I am sooo impressed by that sweater. It's beautiful!camiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508352353067095334noreply@blogger.com
