Bee Stitch Mastered!















I grabbed another ball of yarn and was determined to get this stitch right. Here is my pretty new dish cloth.
This is called the Bee Stitch Cloth and can be found here. I used Peaches and Cream 100% cotton in the colorway of Potpourri #178 using #7 needles. I LOVE this stitch. Hope you like the results too.

Green Bee Stitch Border Dishcloth


Tried a new stitch this week and boy was I frustrated...
I made the Bee Stitch Border dishcloth,
found here: Bee Stitch Border Cloth.
I used Peaches and Cream 100% cotton yarn in the color of #168 Shades
of Green.
This was the first time I "knit(ted) in the stitch below". I kept
getting confused as where the stitch below was located. At first I knitted in
between the two and then I did "find the hole below" and stitched
there. I was apprehensive to let the live stitch on the needle fall
off. I did have a few dropped stitches that I had to retrieve.
Needless to say, I am less than thrilled with the way this one turned
out. It was supposed to be a gift. I will keep it and try again.
I did look on line for instructions on how to do this stitch and I
couldn't find a video, just a pix and the explanation was lacking.
What do you think?
