Nice stitch. One little comment about the “cover” note that comes with each episode. I don’t think you need to say “I just wanted to show you…” It sounds almost like you’re half-apologizing for taking my time. But I’m subscribed, I want to see the new installations so there’s no need to explain or justify why you’re sending them to me. 🙂
@BobBeer I think that’s very much a matter of personal perception. We’ve worded our emails in a specific way on purpose and we are quite happy with the results. But thanks for the feedback. It is very much appreciated.

This is a dumb question but what do u mean that the stitch is worked on a reverse stockinette background? I know what that is,but do u use it as a border or ???????
@rooney48 There are no dumb questions! When a stitch is worked on a background of reverse stockinette (rv st) it means it is surrounded by rv st on either side. This way the stitch pops. It’s often used with cable patterns to accentuate them. Make sense?
