Doesn’t really start with the 1s below the 2s but also doesn’t really start with the 1s above them either? Have dancers stand becket on the ends for the left diagonal chain. Whether or not they enter from that with the gentlespoon on the right doesn’t really matter, they’ll enter the hey one way or another 🤷♂️.

Ellen’s Yarns meets Square Through to You, for when you want to call Square Through to You but you can’t call Square Through to You because Bob Isaacs refuses to publish his dances literally anywhere. Where’s the book, Bob?
