I really like the mini horseshoe lace and have copied the pattern down. At this rate I shall accumulate a book filled with patterns from you – which is a good idea as at the moment they are on random bits of paper! Note to self must buy another notebook…..
I like that the horseshoe too, and it’s a really easy pattern to work as it’s only a 4 row repeat and 2 of those rows are purled!
