    It is isn’t it @josusa47 ... it’s quite a tricky one to ‘set’ ... at least I found it tricky, but it’s probably at least 40 years since I last knitted an Aran ... but once I got going it’s really satisfying to knit ... that’s the second one in a row that I’ve made to that pattern. I’ll probably knit it again some time  🧶 😊

    Thank you @Logan4  ... I’m glad it’s turned out well ... @WonkyWomble ‘s husband is very dear to me and I wanted to make him something nice 😊

    It's gorgeous Dove.   Clever you and lucky Mr Wonky.

    This is what I taught the ladies who Patch to do today:

    becomes this

    or this

    It's a machine patch technique I picked up on the 'net and adapted.   They loved it - completely new method for veteran hand sewers.

    Thanks Obelixx 😊 

    That patch technique looks like some sort of magic trick

    Very impressive Obelixx. I remember what it was like trying to get the machine stitches to meet in the centre. Not my favourite quilting method.😳
