Resurrecting my "wrapping cloth"

Now that the exhibition is finished, and I'm giving my hands a rest from the physical work of crocheting the retro rugs I have dug out my white and white with white wrapping cloth started a few months ago with Karen Ruane. Its taking a little while to get my head back into this style of working, to decide where I am going with it. Makes me realise I really need to get it finished before too much more time goes by.
