From: deirdre@deeny.MV.COM (Deirdre) The first is an afghan, which I saw at a friend's. She says it's ancient. It's made up in strips on large needles like so: RS: K5, K8, P3, K8, P3, K8, P3, K8, K5 WS: K5, P8, K3, P8, K3, P8, K3, P8, K5 Every twelve rows, cross the 8 stitch cables. Obviously, knit to length and add more strips until you have desired width. The yarn used was about Lopi weight.
