Penelope
by Sue McKinnell 8x32 Strathspey for 3C
Bars  
1-8 1C set, lead down between 3C, cross, and cast up to 2nd place on opposite sides. 2C step up on bars 5-6.
9-16 Mirror reels of 3 on the sides, 1C dancing in and up to begin.
17-24 1C dance a circulating slip knot:
1C and 2C turn partners into allemande hold, 2C facing down on the M’s and 1C facing up on the W’s.
2C and 1C dance as it the trailing couple in a regular knot, stepping a bit to the right to begin; 1C end at the top on the M’s and 2C end in 2nd on the W’s.
1M and 2M lead partners across the set LH.
1C and 2C LH across halfway.
25-28 1C dance a half figure of 8, 1W down between 3C and 1M up between 2C.
29-32 All turn partners LH once round.
Repeat.
Suggested music is The Expert Dancer from Campbell's Birl by Keith Smith and Muriel Johnstone.
Written because I wanted to try the slip knot in strathspey time and ended up with a circulating version. Named to honor a friend's new baby girl.
