[Nfb-krafters-korner] plastic canvas patterns?

[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

It originally was my friends idea, but I designed all the lettering.
She told me what she wanted on it.  We discussed the colors.  I
suggested  making the back look like a ribon, because it needed a back
to cover the bumpy stitching on the back.  When you do plastic canvis,
your frunt comes out real nice, but depending what you do and the kinds
of yarn you use, it can come out bumpy.  You have to hide loose yarn
under previous stitches.  You do not use nots.
