Last night I played around with seed stitch borders. This morning I tested garter stitch borders. Results are here. So now I know: borders make your afghan squares lie nice & flat and they make them look a lot more respectable too. I’m tempted to rip out all 8 of the other squares I’ve done without borders but I don’t think the cats will mind the practice-workmanship too much.

Next up: a yarn swap at the brand new Knitomatic. Sadly, I have no yarn to swap, being a nascent knitter means that I have no stash left over from past projects. But I thought I’d use the swap as an opportunity to check out the new store and maybe dip my toes into the tempting pool of stash-building. Stay tuned.
