I've not really knitted much since my kids grew up and stopped needing small sized jumpers (I don't have the patience for big projects) but, I've recently taken over knitting the snood my son started for his partner and I got sick of fixing/unpicking.. I'm actually quite enjoying having a task to perform whilst staring at the telly.

Helegant Nov 2017 12:49am, 28 Nov 2017 5,294 posts	0 Helegant Applique sounds good. Is it a sort of buttonhole/blanket stitch? (I used to do a little bit using close zig-zag)
