How do you do KSP and back out?
@suzanneburke2004 I don’t understand your question. Does it relate to this stitch?
This pattern is going to be a real challenge for me.I think it is real pretty too. Also like the
New Stitch a Day web site. Have learned a lot from it.

This is a really simple stitch. It adds a different texture to a other wise basic stockinette stitch. Thank for adding something else to my lust for learning. 😉
How can I get written instructions on how to do the rt and lt.?
