Your generous clues reduced my moves from 140 to 112. Big thanks, Judi & TGLB 

... and TGLB 

Thanks a million, Judi! 

Strangely I just got close again with a 99.  This time I played up clubs and hearts.  It might work either way.

I meant take the score lower.

Hi all.  Okay, this is a first for me.  I followed TGLB's instructions to get diamonds and clubs up.  Many switches were necessary.  I played the Q on K.  Then I immediately moved K up to get him out of the way.  I played the 8 over to expose 8 and switched it out.  I hope this helps.  I will add more clues later.  I am sure the wonder people will take the score higher.

Hi Every 1 -- I finished with 157 moves.
TY 4 starter clue.  Knit 01  

My fleeting second of fame. I'll take it. Thanks so much for the James', TGLB. Have fun, all y'all!

Q first not Q 

Q, 10, 8, 9 all first with a couple of switches to play up clubs and diamonds
