    What a lovely technique! As someone who has learned to crochet strictly from the internet, I feel like this is the kind of tip you would normally get when you learn from your auntie, grandma, etc. So I’m really grateful for tips like this. 😊

    This is both brilliant and gorgeous! Thank you especially for the little tip about making the loops even because I do tend to be a little bit of a tighter crocheter. Also I have been wanting to tell you that I'm enjoying your daily meditative flower. I decided to make them into a garland for along the top of the wall in my craft room. Attaching the flowers at only one point was allowing them to twist around a lot and making me crazy. So instead I attached them just like you do, but three times: after the second double crochet, after the third double crochet and again after the fourth double crochet. It makes a cute little 3-braided effect and it keeps them more manageable. Just wanted to share that tip to let you know how versatile your cute little flower project is! ❤❤❤

      Ooooh, wow, that sounds fabulous. 🤩Your craft room is going to look sooo sweet with that. I wish I’d thought of it!
      But thinking on it , these kittens would have probably liked it a little too much too 😂🧶
      Thank you for telling me . ❤️❤️❤️

    WOW! this border is awesome. I like plain borders that do not overpower the piece. This is so perfect. 💖Saved it and titled it: "The Line." I like this stitch as much as your Zig Zag border stitch, Roz. 💞 That has been my go-to stich. I'm looking forward to trying this.

    Yes indeed I am going to try that! I hate the look of raw edges on something that is probably a really wonderful piece we've worked hard on. It can just destroy the whole piece if the raw edge isn't sorted right. This is such a pretty way to finish off those rough edges & it really pulls it together. Thank you so much for this, Roz.

    I am trying to make my mom a sweater. I noticed only when I was finished with the back panel that I couldn't decide if I wanted to chain one and turn or chain 2 and turn. Now the bottom is all wonky. This might be just the thing to even it all out and make it look like it has a nice finished edge. I appreciate it. :)

      I know it’s frustrating when it gets like that . If this doesn’t do the trick , try the other one . The slip stitch is tighter and invisible and it seems to be the only thing that works for me when nothing else does. That and blocking should do it 🧶💕
