We seem to have had a lot more butterflies in the garden this year, maybe its the presence of the runner beans which are knitting their way up the old aerials, internet and TV cables at the side of the living room window. I had a few early plants in pots, intended for the allotment but other things got the better of me and before I knew it they were completely enmeshed. I put the roots in a big tub they are a bit muddled up but they are romping away.

| Butterfly slip stitch |
I have been having a little look at butterfly stitches. There is a lacy, quite fiddly one, but this really easy butterfly slip stitch pattern is really effective. I came across it in an old (1951) Foyles Handbook by Eunice Close. The stitch pattern for the motif is on the stitch pattern page.
