How to do it:   1- Chain a multiple of 3+4 for turning.  2- DC 3rd chain from hook. Dc until the end of all hains.  3- Ch 2, turn, dc, *FPDC, 2 dc*. Repeat between * * until the end of the row.  4- Ch 2, turn, dc, *2 FPDC, dc* Repeat between ** until the end of the row.  Repeat rows 3 and 4.   The logic here is to work 1 FPDC on the front of the work; on the back of the work, 2 FPDC where the DCs are, pushing them backwards.

The act of swallowing the drink sends a burst of aroma up the back of the nose from inside the mouth, activating a "second sense of smell" in the brain. This second sense of smell is less receptive to the flavour, causing a completely different and less satisfying sensation than smelling it from outside. Business Standard Around 1600, so
