Good day lovely people,
I so appreciate your website. I have seaarch for hours for instructions on diagonal patterning. And your site has them. I am so happy.
Thank you.

Beautiful. Just what I was dreaming of. Thank you ?
I am looking for an old pattern which has been requested from 2 of my friends. I made it around 25 yrs ago and silly me loaned it to someone never to get it back. I wonder if you can help. It is a chevron with wavy edge but no lace, in between the chevrons, stitches are added to make a plain narrow band. I would send a photo but am not that computer savvy. Thankyou in hopes
