I just found this stitch and I think it is so pretty that I could't wait to use it.
I asked on my fb group for test knitters - and I am really happy with the result.
A big thank you to these knitters for taking the time to help - very much appreciated.
I will add more sizes - and a matching blanket and hat - soon.
