Poetic Edging

I like edgings that work themselves up vertically not horizontally. Don't you think it is awful to do all of those chains and stitches just to find out when you are done, that your edging is either too long or too short? Well, it has happened to me, and that is the reson why I prefer vertical edgings. Here's one I came up with today and I would like to share it with you all. It is very easy and would look beautiful in just about anything. Although I used yarn, you can use #10 crochet thread if your edging will be used for a top or any other delicate-looking piece.
