take a seat!
Another season of Knitting Daily TV is
about to air on Public Television stations nationwide, and once again this 10th
series has a lot to offer crocheters. Yarn expert Clara Parkes joins the cast
for her second season with the much loved a yarn spotlight, a look at yarn
characteristics and best uses. And, guest star Robyn Chachula pays a visit with
crochet segments on jewelry and afghan edgings.
On episode 1008, Robyn demonstrates a crocheted ruffle
edging that is both easy to crochet and charming. Add this to the bottom of a
lace tank, crochet this edging around a blanket or afghan, or even add this to
the bottom of a crocheted shawl and you have an instantly feminine project with
a bit of flair. Watch this episode for a first-hand look at Robyn's ruffled
stitch.
