Crochet! New Technique for joining edges

[CLLinda]

In the May 2006 issue, they show a new way to join edges together. They even give you an example pattern to follow so that you can see how it is done.

 

You use a tunisian hook and go through both layers and do a basic row of tunisian stitches by putting yarn on the hook and then taking it off. I am going to try it. It looks like it lays flatter and has a better appearance than using whip stitches like I usually do.

 

I'll be working on the sample tonight. It looks like a winning idea to me.

 

It's on page 62 of the new magazine.

 

Plus, there are a lot of pretty spring projects to get busy with.

 

Enjoy.

For years I have been crocheting my work together using a slip stitch. I find it not only looks neater, and lays flatter, but is much much easier.

Sounds interesting. But I found that whipstitching either only the inside or the outside loops will cause it to lay pretty flat. But I am always looking for new techniques, thanks!

I am going to have to go check it out because I use the slip stitch to join my items, but I am really wondering what they are talking about. Now I have a mission to find the magazine.
