November 20th 2017 KAL - Chessboard Cloth

November 20th 2017 KAL:

I recommend any Fall color.  I used Burnt Yellow for this one.

  

I will post the photos either today or tomorrow on our blog.

This is the pattern in its entirety.

Using Lifelines will help with any project. If you aren't sure what that is, there is plenty of info on the Internet about it but it is basically where you put thread or thin yarn through a row already worked, designating that all the rows to that point are error free. You should document what row you put the lifeline in so you have a point of reference. If you make any error after that point, you know you are OK with the previous rows anyway.

Any questions?  Just send a note to the group and we will answer for you.

This KAL is a Lace cloth.
