Bedfordshire for beginners

Some of you may remember this post about Jenny and myself undertaking a challenge to learn Bedfordshire lace in 2009. As this activity keeps my fingers moving without having to use any real pressure, I can cope with the plaster cast on my arm as long as I take frequent breaks. Jenny has posted her first sample here and my first sample is shown below.
