The Ridge Stitch

September 2002 Stitch of the Month

The Ridge (rib) Stitch.

This stitch is used mostly for afghans, but you can also use it for potholders, hotmats, and using thread, even doilies.  You can use any type of yarn, for example, if  you wanted to make a baby afghan, just use baby or sport weight yarn. You can make it all  one color, or several colors.

This is worked on any number of stitches, just measure the area you want an afghan for,

and chain that length.

So for this sample, chain 75.

Starting row:

Sk 1 ch, Sc in each Sc across. Ch 1, turn.

All rows:  Working in back loops ONLY, sc in each sc across row. Ch 1, turn.

                           

            You can change colors at the end of each row, and leave a long tail, then after several rows, tie or knot two or three tails together. Or using the same color, do three rows, and  tie these together. (If you are making this for a baby, I  wouldn't leave a tail at the end, their fingers could get tangled up in them.)

October 2018 Stitch of the Month Crochet

October 2018 Stitch of the Month  Crochet

Based on an even number of stitches

For sample, chain 20

Foundation Row: Work 1 sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch to end. Ch 4, turn.

Row 1: Skip first 2 sc, 1 dc in next sc, * ch 1, skip next sc, 1 dc in next sc; rep from * to end. Ch 1, turn.

Row 2: Working thru front loop only, work 1 sc in first and in each dc and in each sc ending 1 sc under turning ch, 1 sc in top of turning ch. Ch 4, turn.

Repeat Rows 1 and 2 for pattern for desired length.

Review: Peaches and Scream

Peaches and Scream by Susan Furlong
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this cozy murder mystery. I read the first chapter and become a fan of Susan Furlong.

Her descriptive writing style with it down home feeling will pull you right into the story.

"Heading down the road out of town plunged me into the orchard area, where the sullenness of the weathered town stood in shape contrast to the peach trees, standing row on row, like study soldiers, their green uniforms shining in the Georgia sun, holding guard over this community. Even the late August sun couldn't extinguish the bristling green of the leaves, whispering their welcome to me in the light breeze."

Susan has developed such a warm and wonderful town along with lovable characters, you will not be able to put the book down. But it also has nasty characters to. I didn't know til the end "who done it"

This is the first in the series, the next two being Rest In Peach and War and Peach. All three come with recipes. I want to read them all.
