Lattice and seed stitch square is an interesting square, the posibilities of making a sweater like this are great, lots of work. Seed stitch is a very pretty stitch. I had to extend myself almost 18 rows to get my gauge. I learned that I need to relax my cast on. A relaxed long tail cast on can be stretchy if you do not make it tight lol! Thanks for stopping by and we shall see you next week!

I have been knitting through

I have been knitting through this afghan as well (pictures to be posted at a later date). When I knitted up Square 4, it ended up larger than any of the previous squares. Everyone really does knit a little bit differently and get different results. I'm enjoying seeing the results of your work, Andy.

A very pretty square and you are right - seed stitch is a lot of work.

Isn't it amazing what combining knits and purls can do? Four weeks, four distinct squares; two stitches.
