I started towards the left hand side with small picots but wanted to see how it would look if I made them a bit larger. I only managed a few rings before I forgot to join and since I wasn't going to attempt unpicking I cut it off and called it done.

Shuttles Originally uploaded by michl_007 on 13th October, 2009

Three shuttle brands. Clover at the top, grey ones are Inox-Prym and random yellow one.

I like the Clover ones best other than the fact that they don't have a hook on the end so I sometimes find it difficult to get the thread through small picots. I quite like the Inox-Prym too. They yellow one is pretty crap to be honest, with a wobbly hook and a hard feel to it. I might file it in the bin.
