DID IT!!!!!
FINISHED
Knitting that 25" x 9 "panel. Can't do anything with it now until I can: bend over the bed, take measurements, and play with the lay-out. do the blocking (May need to 'stretch' a block a bit and then I'll start sewing it together (With yarn--ladder stitch. don't want to crochet it together as there are too many diff sizes. Then I can say "Another UFO DONE DONE DONE : ) : ) : ) WWWHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I won't tell you how many times I ripped rows out as they just didn't 'lay' right. had a LOT of cables, interwoven cables, LT, RT (left/right twist), and CB, CF (Cable back/front) so I had 2 distinct patterns, middle cables section and then the first 2 patterns again-only backwards : ) BUT! I DID IT and it looks nice and I need to block it and I'm glad its done done done. Enjoyed the challenge of it and I KNOW I CAN KNIT but must limit my time and no 2 days in a row and and and YES! To keep it ON T , the pattern calls for sewing each panel to a piece of fabric and then sewing those together. I don't think so as this is heavy enuf WITHOUT the extra added to it. SO sometime this week, I shall start blocking each panel. Should be done by the end of summer. Butterfly (YAY!) |

Congratulations! You know, you finish a lot more stuff going at your own
pace than lots of other people who "don't have time" or whatever their excuse is :-) And we'd like a picture! Roberta in D "Butterflywings" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ...

After it's blocked......MUST show off the detail in the middle of this one.
Just don't look too closely at the one outer edge as I couldn't seem to get it 'right' and I got tired of unknitting it. You'll see where I finally figured it out and finished correctly. It should be ready by the end of this week. remind me on Thurs. Butterfly (Think it is worth showing off.cause it was the most challenging of them all) "Roberta Zollner" wrote in message ...
