[Nfb-krafters-korner] Knit stitches other than just purl plain rows?

[Annette Carr]

Valerie,

You are only limited by your imagination.  All you need to do is decide on
how you want to combine your knit and purl stitches.  Some ideas could be:

Row 1:  knit entire row
Row 2: Purl entire row
Row 3: Knit entire row
Repeat these 3 rows to create a vertical ribbed pattern

If you are working with an even number of stitches that when divided by 2
equals an even number, for example, such as 16
Row 1: knit 2, purl 2, repeat across row
Row 2:  Repeat Row 1
Row 3:  Purl 2, Knit 2, repeat across row
Row 4:  Repeat row 3

HTH,
Annette

Subject: [Nfb-krafters-korner] Knit stitches other than just purl plain
rows?

I have, for the first time, actually completed 15 rows of knitting (two
needles) without dropping a stitch, this is a real achievement! I was almost
ready to give it all away, but found some wool that I seemed to knit with
far better and sized needles that helped too.  Since I am now not dropping
stitches, I am wondering if there are any easy fancy stitches that I could
try to liven up the purl, knit. Is there a simple eyelet or lace pattern or
anything I could use?  I do know the seed stitch, well by reading think I
could manage that one. It would be nice to add a border or edge to the
project.  Any help would be great. Thanks Valerie
