One thing I...Grace Taylor gave a good explanation. One thing I would recommend, start with 2 contrasting larger threads and practice doing both up joins and down joins and see which you like the best. Also, when you do a join, watch what way you put your shuttle through the loop. <br />When I do a down join, I lay the thread across the picot, reach up through the picot with my hook, then pull the thread down through it. I then take my shuttle out of the loop i pulled through, and come through the loop from the back. I think snug the join down, and do the 2nd half of a ds. For me this makes a join that looks very close to an actual DS. Let me know if you can understand or if I need to break it down further. <br />There is also a couple of methods blipless joins too. I like the Larks Head Picot join and the easiest directions I find are the one that Krystle Pyette does This link will take you to her instruction page http://krystledawnetats.blogspot.com/2012/05/ask-and-ye-shall-receive.html <br />Ladytatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13333655818263465112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8790815654275899841.post-58020312803064954182014-03-02T01:23:08.167-08:002014-03-02T01:23:08.167-08:00Australia sounds good, might be a bit warmer than ...Australia sounds good, might be a bit warmer than Russia, The paromyplics start at the end of the week so that should be interesting.

On your badger, if you put the thread above the picot you wish to join to, then insert the hook from the bottom of the work to snag it and pull through, your join will be on the front of the work (the side you are looking at anyway). If you place the thread beneath the joining picot and pull upward, the join will be on the reverse side. You can control which side the black shows on in this manner. If you flip your work to the reverse side to add one of the sets of rings, then place the thread on top of the picot for the join, and the join will show on the side you are working on (the back). This probably made no sense whatever, but this is one of the things I learned lately, so I wish I could explain it well, as I know exactly your frustration! I had to use this "trick" to make my Neudorf hearts (the ones with the rosettes in the middle) turn out as I wished.<br /><br />OOOH! I looked at Jane's pattern!!!! Cute!
