Long Stitches

My mother-in-law asked me to make another afghan just like the last one I wove. Sigh! Needless to say, I won't bore you by going through the same stuff all over again.

I'm going to ask you to consider how a long stitch might spice up your work. I don't recommend giving this kind of afghan to a person with pets or young children whose fingers will get caught up in the work. (Although you just have to smooth the fabric to make it right again.)

Your long stitches can go any direction, just like the regular weave. Check these out.

Long stitches - 2 or 3 holes


Herringbone decoration

I can't give you the whole pattern as I'm not sure what the copyright issues might be, But I wanted to give you something to spark your imagination.

Thanks for visiting with me.
