Feeling creative recently, I tried out some new knitting stitches from a knitting book. Being pleased with the results, I decided to incorporate them into some of my latest items.
Showcasing below is King Charles Brocade on the front of the mini hot water bottle:
This took lots of concentration until I'd done a few rows....and then it seemed to be a bit like crazy paving until the final result when I could stand back and see that there was a perfectly formed pattern in there!
Next up is rick rack rib stitch which brings a whole new dimension to what you and I call rib stitch. Fun to do and looks good. Take a peep at the phone cover in the foreground.
What new stitches have your tried of late that have worked for you?
