What I like about hardanger is the speed with which it grows - if you get the counting of the Kloster blocks right!It really is an impressive looking technique for not a huge amount of effort - just a steady nerve when it comes to cutting!
The kit instructions were very good, and there was sufficient (just, in a couple of cases!) thread to complete the design.
I stitched this almost as charted - the only modification I made was omitting the picots on the woven bars, as 1. I think they look too fussy and 2. I can never get them even!
I'm not sure what I will finish this as!
