Stitch pattern: seeding your own stitches
"Inventing" stitch patterns is not only enjoyable but is also a great way of using up odds and ends of yarn. I keep a small bag of yarn ball ends expressly for this purpose. ...so without further delay let us play...
The rules (feel free to break them)
I like stitch pattern that are no longer than four rows.
..oh, I thought there more rules... guess not.
Tip
Combine two stitch patterns: such as purl and seed stitch.
Rows:
row 1: *purl one, knit one - continue from * to end of row.
row 2: purl - to end of row.
row 3: *knit one, purl one - continue from * to end of row.
row 4: purl - to end of row.
Repeat rows 1 to 4 for pattern.
Pretty, eh? Do you want to play some more? Why not try...
row 1: knit - to end of row.
row 2: *purl one, knit one - continue from * to end of row.
Repeat rows 1 and 2 for pattern.
I'll show you mine if you show me yours. ...tomorrow. Plus more ways to play.

What do I do besides knit? Well, yesterday, today, and tomorrow I am "working door" or "doing house" which ever expression you like to use. Mayne Island Little Theatre is currently staging two one-act plays. ...more on this tomorrow.
