Latest stitch

This will be my first time blogging from my iPhone using the blogger app.
The first stitch in green is a diagonal box stitch inspired by the blanket from yarny days, thank you for the inspiration !! It's crocheted and at first I was a bit confused with the design but after getting into it, it was quite simple and the result I think is stunning! I liked it so I made another one in red this time as an iPhone cozy tied at the end with a very festive ribbon!
Another stitch I was experimenting with is a dishcloth pattern from Mason Dixon Book 1. I used a cotton yarn for this and after awhile , the stitch pattern became familiar. Love the effect of a simple slip stitch. Well that's it for now, I hope you are discovering and loving crafting as much as I do!!!

BTW, I'm really curious about that 2 colour slip stitch. When you are in Melbourne, you have to show me how to do it. :)

Thanks Jen will show you how to do the stitch when I'm next in Melbourne. Also, will do the tag along once I have free time in the next few days, sounds like fun!
