It still counts!
It may just be an afghan square, but that still means a few hours of knitting here and there, and now it's done, in all its orange acrylicy goodness (is there such a thing as acrylicy goodness?) My comments about this yarn (Bernat super value!) are: it squeaks when I knit it, it makes my hands feel sweaty, and it's good and cheap and looking forward to its new home in Afghanistan.
Ann & Kay, this one's for you!
The stitch pattern, in case you can't tell, is simple: over a multiple of 5 stitches, plus 5... (and add on the K2 border each row for the garter stitch edge)
Row 1 (RS): *k5, p5, repeat from *, k last 5 sts before border.
Row 2 (WS): p5, *k5, p5, repeat from * until end
Rep. rows 1 & 2 2 times, then rev. pattern so that Row 2 is knit on the RS and row 1 on the WS.
I probably have a name for this stitch pattern somewhere, but I have dinner plans and have to run...
Right on, Jon! You bet your bippy it counts! I love orange, I love basketweave, and I love that square.
Squeaky is good in a yarn.
Beautimous--thanks so much for sharing the pattern, too.
All best, Ann
