WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THE TRANQUIL LAPGHAN
I’ve loved making this pattern in one of my favorite stitches, the Drunken Granny Stitch. This stitch is easy, fun, and looks really difficult to make. It looks very intricate and yet very simple to do. The fabric it creates is a lacy one, and I really enjoy creating a lace fabric.
