Memories Past is a nod to those stitch patterns of days past. They will challenge your abilities while making you feel warm and cozy. I was always intimidated by Smocked or Quilted Stitches; dropping stitches to one side of your work and then trusting they will remain in tack gave me far too much anxiety.
I came up with a stitch marker placement to secure your “dropped” stitches. There are two help videos that I have recorded which can be found on my YouTube Channel and the Pattern File.
