Joining woven pieces

I have been practicing cross knit looping lately as a decorative
edging and this week tried it as a joining stitch as I had seen that
Vietnamese weavers weave large panels on their backstrap looms and use
this stitch to join the pieces to make long skirts and blankets.

I cut a table runner I had made into two pieces and joined the two
pieces side by the side using this stitch and then found I had something
wide enough to accommodate my large shuttles and medium size beaters.
So a new tool bag was born.

A close up of the stitch which I think matches the “comb” design that I had woven into the piece very nicely.

More about this on my blog.
There is also a tutorial for the cross knit looping technique which you
will find by hitting the TUTORIALS tab at the top of the blog page.
