I love how you break down the mermaid, beautifully clear instructions. Not sure what the Cleopatra part is… as I remember it had something to do with a rotation like you show at the end but I remember the rotation happening when carriage is pushed out and the free arm reaches under the other arm to hold onto the carriage somewhere?

I was thinking the same. That’s how I was taught by BB & what is in my manual. This was just different mermaid variations. Some nice ones.

Love the break down of each exercise. Would you clarify which one Mermaid and which one was cleopatra? I also love the thread the needle at the end;)
