I love to knit, crochet and do other crafts.  I don't usually have a problem reading directions and creating the item.  Sometimes I can just look at it and figure it out.  However, I've come across a new technique that has me stumped!  It's called "Sashay".  It sounds and looks simple but I just can't grasp the concept.  Anyone ever worked with this material?  I've read and re-read the instructions.  I've watched instructional videos.  Still it just doesn't make sense to me. HELP!
