Alberta Pendant


The Alberta Pendant started out as something completely different. I bought a pattern on the internet, but my French had let me down this time. I am just to ashamed to mention the original designer here - her work is outstanding! When I realized that I am -what we in Afrikaans say busy to- "gorrel tjorrel" -that means that I did not know what I had been doing and had been making up my own instructions - because between the illustrations and the French instructions something went wrong and my pendant was strange-looking and did not resemble the awesome design it was intended to be. Well, as my pupils by now know - my motto had always been that you do not make a mistake, you only create a new design. See girls, I sometimes do practise what I preach. Now, to go as sit down and to put it on paper for you.
