First Class Is Now In Session! The 'Diagonal Rib'!

The first class for teaching the patterns for blocks in our 'Project Afghan' has just started! Woohoo! How exciting! I know that many of you are just as excited, if not more, than Jenny and I and a boat load of you have signed up for the class already (124 as of this morning)...but, if you should miss the class this week, I will have the pattern posted on this blog next week. So, don't freak out on us or anything. You will still be able to get the pattern and if you are sweet enough (meaning to bring or send chocolates and other goodies to your teacher to suck up) you will receive the same quality of help after the class is over as you would while the class was in session. Just contact the designer listed on the bottom of your pattern.

Story behind the 'Diagonal Rib':
There really isn't a story except that it never ceases to amaze me that if you take an even number of pegs and use a repetitive odd numbered pattern (example 24 pegs, repeating a 5 peg pattern) it does a diagonaly effect. Not only that, but if you do this pattern on a round piece, like a hat, the rib will spiral! That is just too cool! :D
I thought that if I was so fascinated with the effect, then there should be others out there that are equally as fascinated by it. Why not make that our very first block?
Enjoy!

Looming with Love,
