I couldn't take watching her painstakingly working it, finally started telling her how quickly some of the areas would go if she used decorative stitches and/or bargello. She just didn't look like she was having any fun. On another note, after suffering thru the piece I was supposed to teach, therefore doing it the way the pattern said, no one wanted to take the class! Ok for me to suffer, they weren't going to. I think I may just redo the piece - my way. That hat will have bargello instead of kahlem. (sp? the one that looks like knitting. I can't knit very well either and that hat shows it.
