this is a great border stitch common in the 1800s and early 1900s - they would make it in strips and use it to trim linen towels, pillow cases, etc. today we can use it to knit a lacey edge on a shawl without having to pick up the stitches at the end... you work end to end - like the Saroyan shawl on ravelry. fun!
