A sample of some of Sandra's hand knits
I've recently been learning and working on new designs using the stacked stitch technique. The technique is easy to learn using knitting stitches you will already know. Yeh! Video tutorial to suplement my new design is here.
I've been impressed by the work of the designers already using this technique. Their work is bright, colourful and really rather fun. I've tuned my designs down so that the stripes are less angular and more wavy and by using just 2 colours you achieve a more classic feminine look.
Here's my 1st design, available in kit form - .The 'Splash Waves' wrap.
