well there is some sort of a pattern, after a fashion, but it's pret a portent to follow the haute trends, or you'll be passe.

it helps to know the relivant terms, if you want to go with grain, so don't be caught napping. Fiberbabe, i fully expect to see you interfacing in this thread, since you have a good grasp of the underlining vocabulary, and should be able to pad out this thread, so consider yourself buttonholed for the task!

i am gussetted with excitment over the turn this thread has taken!

unravelled... or ravelled; that is the question.

(or, secondarily, unravelled... or unraveled?!)

I was a frayed that this was knot going to stop. So I decided to dart in with some crewel puns of my own. Zome of 'em will be zippers, and I'll probably quilt after an applique-tion of a dozen or so.

Whether I'm a crochety old guy is a fell question, so just to put a gros point on it I'm gonna canvas the readers, thought it might put you in a bind.

The main question is whether I should run with this or bargello from my diet. The French knotwithstanding I'm looking for a darned good answer. You can suture self on whether you answer, and I'm not going to argue over a petit point. While I'm not netting any answers, it could be due to the overcast weather, or so I gather.

Honestly, I'm twine to stop! I shuttle to think what will happen if I don't. 'Twill come back to haunt me or I'll be weft holding the bag. Argh. I'm getting raddled!
