Comment by Elaine Wilding on April 30, 2012 at 22:24 This is so cool looking.You could almost dye the piece after the knots were added. You could use white tread for the knots. I love seeing the process of this thanks for sharing. Hugs Elaine

Post helpful links to blogs, websites etc but do not pitch or point to direct selling points.
The exception to this is the "Your Page" area, where it is OK to post links to your etsy shop etc
2. Please keep all photos related to the topic of textiles. This means no pets children etc. Photos are limited to 5 uploads per day.
3. Observe copyright law at all times. Infringement will lead to being banned.
4. Using the RSS feature to pull your blog posts from blogger, wordpress etc into your page is permitted. Do not pull in other peoples blogs as this is republishing their material in a public space and a copyright infringement.
5. Keep the discussion on topic. Title your subject clearly.
6. Use the groups for more specific discussions. If you want a new group contact Sharon B. The group moderator needs to monitor the group and keep it going in the original stated direction.
7. This is a family friendly site. Do not post inappropriate material as it will be removed. If you are a subversive stitcher be aware of this rule.
8. Do not post demeaning comments or flame Newbies who make a faux pas - be friendly. Don't post the same thing multiple times.
9. Swaps, round robbins, stitch a longs and challenges are organized through groups. Ideally leaders would have experience with these activities. Swappers take responsibility for their own Exchanges. I, Sharon Boggon DO NOT take responsibility for swaps round robbins etc that get lost, go wrong, or dont work out as expected.
10. Abbreviations, colloquialisms and slang are difficult for anyone who has English as their second language. So please avoid them.
11 Be aware this network is public and anyone can read what you publish here.
