This segment's strip is the Diamond Trellis by Kate Steinke, the Chair of CGOA's Volunteer Committee.
“Kate's elegant Diamond Trellis strip uses three different colors; pale plum, lavender, and shocking pink, to help you gain experience with colorwork. You will change colors within rows and carry color changes up the side of one row. The beautiful trellis pattern is achieved by working chain loops that remain free from the background stitches, giving a very textural effect to this strip.”

What a great project for March. Looks like fun. The Diamond Trellis pattern looks intriguing.
ReplyDeleteI am now ready set go!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting pattern!
ReplyDeleteI have never used these products but would love to try them on the things I'm making for my new granddaughter's.
ReplyDeleteThis is the first I've heard of Unicorn Fiber's products. They look like they'd be effective yet gentle. I usually just wash my projects as directed for the type of yarn but no specialty detergent.
ReplyDeleteI have been looking for a way to soften yarn in my baby projects. The stiffer (non-baby) yarns are easier to work with than the softer ones, am interested to try Beyond Soft Unicorn Baby.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried any of the Unicorn Fibre products, but just ordered their sample. The diamond trellis is pretty and such a different stitch pattern.
ReplyDeleteI have never tried Unicorn Fiber products but now that I know about them, I will have to give them a try for my crocheted projects.
ReplyDeleteFor those of you who have commented that you've never tried Unicorn Fibers - the products are great! I tried them once and was completely hooked :)
ReplyDeleteIn the past, I've used Woolite (about 35 years ago!) but lately I've used more acrylic yarns and have just used normal laundry detergent. If a project needed special care, I have hand-washed with shampoo. I've never heard of Unicorn before!
ReplyDeleteOkay so I have gotten a late start but love the diamond trellis stitch

ReplyDeleteI usually hand wash my crochet items with mild soap like woolite, but am interested in learning more about the Unicorn Fibre items :)
