Spinning wheel - nuntium duodeduocesimum quintum

Tuesday was an teacher inservice day- I love them because I can tat too!  This one was nice and helpful.  And I got my first ever SPINNING WHEEL glass mat done!  I found I needed 10 yards on one shuttle and 15 on the other.  I'm very pleased with this because it's front side/back side (why I don't know because I don't care) and I did blipless joins.  It was perfect until I realized that in the first row I did 3p3p3 instead of FOUR.  The whole pattern is FOUR- what a knucklehead!
I really wanted to take a picture of this on my computer à la Diane but I ran out of time.

 And because there was a basketball game in the evening, I got to tat even more!

Not so much since.  But tomorrow is Twin Cities Tatters meeting so that will be fun!  and my big daughter will be home from college and will be joining us.  I'm so lucky.
