I've been Tunisianing away with some pretty Frog Tree Alpaca, for the last few weeks. I am singing the praises of my new Excel sloper, which I've been fiddling with so that all I have to do is put in gauge and my patterns practically write themselves! It's time-consuming in the beginning, but is going to make subsequent patterns much easier and faster.

My current stitch is Tunisian Honeycomb. It makes a great fabric; check it out:
Tunisian Swatch

It's just tunisian simple stitch and tunisian purl stitch, back and forth, so that you work a TSS in a TPS and vice versa. Tunisian is such fun, especially in such a soft yarn.

The deadline on this baby is coming up, and I have two more designs in the works; definitely not as proficient as some but I love it all the same!
