Wow, lot’s to learn this week!!:fk:

I made this one into a little face cloth. Started with stacked for a few rows, then alternating and ended with a few rows stacked again.

Well done! Looks great…

Thank you. The right edge isn’t as messy as it appears in the photo.

Nicely done! Isn’t that a fun technique?!

@TexasPurl It is fun! And really simple. I tried doing stacked and then all front but it shifted to the right a LOT for some reason so I frogged it and tried this instead. I think it’s perfect for a face cloth.

So much fun!! :fk:
