You know, as much as I despise peacock sword, I find myself loving this pattern. Nicely done, Norm.

That may be the case, but you've learned to wrestle it into submission. I know from experience that the fibers want to twist and turn, splaying in all directions. Nice job Norm.

The colors compliment each other nicely and you certainly know how to tame the swords.
Well done.

Mike and Norm,
I have to agree with you about the un-handiness of peacock sword! Norm, you manage it well and it looks good!
