Hi Bonnie, just would like you to know that I’ve completed 2 of the throws. The Basketweave Diamond throw and I just finished the Holiday Cables Throw today. The 1st one was a little challenging for me. I did more pulling out than I put in but I persevered and finished it. The 2nd throw was a lot easier. To think I’ve only been at this for 5 years. I’m going to find another one to make. Thanks again for the videos. ….
