Good grief, how in hell do you keep track of all those patterns at the same time?
You've done this knitting stuff before, haven't you. :haha:

Loverly!!

What I did with Santa's gifts - part 1
 

Yes, but they *are* patterns. The left and right edges are mirror images of each other, and the bit in the middle is an eight stitch repeat. I have two stitch-markers to remind me where the edges meet the middle section (you can just see one of them in the top pic, the grey loop at the bottom of the pic). They hang on the needle between the stitches and are simply slipped from left to right needle in the process of the work.

Thank you, bbro!
Knitting patterns can either be “written out” or “charted”. I prefer charts as they are a visual representation of what you have to do.
Here is a tiny section (don’t want to break copyright) of the chart for the left border showing left slanting decreases as \, yarn-over increases as O, and bead placement as the green squares.

And here is the corresponding but of knitting.

Oh sure, piece of cake. :rolleyes: :facepalm:

My mother knits and crochets, but I haven't been able to pick it up. I get distracted too easily. Oddly, I can cross stitch like a machine.

I may give crocheting another go. I just always loose count of my stitches

Just go with freeform crochet and you’re onto a winner straightaway!

I've been enjoying myself. Each bead used to take 15-20 seconds but I've got it down to about 10 now I think.
Second pic shows one of the stitch-markers to show me where the edge pattern meets the centre pattern. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...79d7c19975.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...78461d46b4.jpg
