HY&C Stitch #5

I forgot to post September's stitch so I posted that last week. This is October's stitch and it is one of my favorite stitches. It can be used to create so many different looks just by changing how often you change color. It's called by many names: linen, woven, moss, and granite. And probably a…

HY&C Stitch #2

EDIT: This post has been updated to include the printable dictionary page. Sorry about that! The second stitch of the stitch dictionary is the puff stitch.
