For a word-aficionada, textile arts have quite a lush vocabulary. Plying (a verb) means combining singles to make a stronger strand. Sashing (a noun) is the narrow strip that connects larger elements of a quilt, knitted or sewn.
Yesterday, some plying and some sashing reached completion. So satisfying to see a piece of knitting pinned to a blocking board or to admire a basket of finished yarn.

| Sashing for knitted blanket-quilt being blocked |

| Balls of unravelled sweater yarn will be made into additional sashing |
