Very interesting; can’t wait to try it!
what would happen if you purled the 4 dropped stitiches together on the back side
would it be a hot mess??? just a question.
I wouldn’t do that. But that’s just me.
I just watched the new stitch posted today ,The Indian Cross Stitch. Now I’m knitting it. So glad I
found this site. Thanks!
