This is beautiful! I love the colors. I have just started trying Navajo plying and I love it even though I am not very good at it yet. Once you get in the rhythm of it though it is really fun and fast.

Ii is beautiful. I have been nervous about Navaho plying. I guess I just need to try.

If you're nervous, you might want to start with some singles that you're not seriously attached to - that way you won't mind so much if the learning curve eats up a few yards of them before you get the hang of it.
