This week's stitches were the Buttonholed Cable Chain and the Alternating Buttonholed Cable Chain Stitches.
Once I got into the swing of things, I found the Buttonholed Cable Chain easy to do, and I can see this as a seam treatment on a crazy quilt, simply because it looks a lot like crochet or tatting (which I cannot do!)! But I had issues with the alternating stitch --- so I tried it twice. Still had issues. The top buttonholes courses simply weren't working, perhaps because I had to work them in reverse...
Giving up on Alternating Buttonholed Cable Chain Stitches, I turned to band 6 for the Wiehenburg "Mystery Band Sampler":
There is a mistake in this band but I'm leaving it, simply because ripping out 3 over 2 in 32ct is a real pain, and besides, I kind of like how it looks! I wonder how many more bands there are...
Happy Spring every one! hope it has arrived where you are.
