It turns out that I have to wait until an area is filled sometimes before I can finish, because I can&#8217;t see the color. I have to look carefully at the rows and make sure there are no holes. When there are, I fill them, then try and use that strand of color before moving to the next color and filling in more holes. There really aren&#8217;t that many. It is an interesting process, though. Very different from quiltmaking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am surprised I haven&#8217;t talked about this project since last November!
