Finished my rush project
PHEW! I had 4 days, basically, to create my contribution to a music
basket to be raffled off by my church choir this week. Ripped the sucker out 4 times before I got it right. That, combined with lots of good advice from you all, helped me finish it on schedule. So here it is! It's far from perfect, but I'm basically happy with it. Learned about the stretchiness of the yarn when trying to back it (even with pinning and blocking, ugh). http://tinyurl.com/ys7879 Wendy |

Yeah, I was going nutz on this stupid thing-- all I had downloaded was the graph---I kept trying to do it by knitting in allllllll the black stripes---I went back and located the written directions. It turned out that SOME of them are just double- knitted-- I forget what that's called---anyway, that made it SO much simpler, once I figured out how to do it. Phew! I do NOT like working to deadline. Wendy ps--- I DID come across an interesting idea for an optical illusion piano key scarf---it looks just like stripes until you lay it down and look at it longways from the side---great idea for the right person, just not what I was after. |
