Lol @CheerBear i had to stop looking at pintrest.  The more I looked the more I wanted to do! I have so many boards most of them in catagories ie blankets, amigurumi and so on 🙈

Did you decide what you might want to do? 

[CheerBear]

It's a dangerous sinking trap of awesomeness @outlander 😆

I might pick up my pencils and fineliner I think. Mix it up a bit! Plus playing with pencils is a bit easier to pick up and put down while supervising slime scientists 😁

Gotta do some doing now I think. Looking forward to hearing how you get on with that border. Catch you soon 👋❤

[outlander]

Oh gosh slime! @CheerBear yes pencils are better when thats around lol.
Have a good day 😊😘

That borders abit tricky @CheerBear

[CheerBear]

It is fiddly and takes some working out @outlander. Have you been able to get it started?

[outlander]

Yeah bur its not where near as good as yours @CheerBear it doesnt really look right but i dont know where ive gone wrong

[outlander]

@CheerBeardoes this look right? this is the second attempt.. the part at the top is bugging me in the rianbow section- i was palying yarn chicken and lost by 2 stitches 😒 this one looks abit better but it doesnt seem to look right either..

[CheerBear]

It looks great @outlander!

Each one of my shells when I did it was a little more in front of the one behind (tricky to explain). I'm wondering if you're putting one of the first or last stitches one too early or late. That might make a difference.

I'm super tired tonight but will have another look at the video tomorrow and see if it jogs my memory. Your shells and stitches themselves look great so I'm sure once you get the placement (or turn maybe) it will do the reverse shell thing more.

@CheerBear thanks, theres something going wrong but i cant quite pick out where it is as im following along with the tutorial. might have to practice abit more. yours overlapped more like the actual way its suppose to be. will try again tomorrow.

Hugs, sounds like an early night might be on the cards for you

Gooood morning @outlander 🌞

I was having a bit of a look at your pic and at the tutorial today and think that maybe where things are a little wonky is in the slip stitch 'anchor' between two shells. I found it at 4:17 on the YouTube tutorial I shared if you'd like to have another look. It's hard to tell from the photo but possibly you're anchoring a stitch ahead rather than to the shell before, which could be why they're looking a little 'flat' and not as bunchy or ruffly (very technical of me there 😉😆).

I could also be wrong here but my guess is this. I hope you can work it out as you're so close and it will look awesome!

Ps did you whip up that Granny square yesterday to practice on? If so that's some dedication right there! I don't think I've ever done one just to practice on!
