First strand for the overlay cut out...well...technically first two. I cut my strands out for the overlay one at a time (rather than having them all connected like in the bellies), but one strand is double length and goes past the end so as to have an easy way to hang from the hook whilst plaiting. So this strand is 26' in length. It is thicker (throughout) than the final strand will be because it will need to be stretched and paired still. I won't blog every strand as I complete them.
