According to a post on http://www.ravelry.com, 3Fe bought their knitting boards from Marla at http://frameknitting.com.

The Ravelry post includes this sample of Marla's "double-sided zig zag knit stitch":

Someone just asked the same thing over at the LJ Knitting community: http://community.livejournal.com/knitting/8569570.html.



You may need to be a member, so here's a summary of the comments to date:

• It may just be a diagonal basketweave rectangle similar to this blanket: http://www.jenipurr.com/knitpurr/archives/diagonalbasketweaveblanket.pdf, with squares that are 5 stitches by 5 rows.
• Or maybe it's a V or U shape. (If you look at the edges, you can see the direction of the basketweave remaining consistent while the edge changes direction.)
• The picture is "hiding" a lot of details: What's going on with the end under the wrap? Is the wrapped end tied behind her?
• All of the stitches appear to be twisted (both knits and purls are worked through the back loop).
• The brown border may be fabric, i-cord, crochet, or picked up and knitted (maybe 3-4 rounds of garter stitch or reverse stockinette).

I, too, love the Mason-Dixon Knitting book. The ballband dishcloth pattern was excerpted at http://www.canadianliving.com/canadianLiving/client/en/Crafts/DetailNews.asp?idNews=236610&idSM=307.
