For the ruffle I am knitting into the front and back of each stitch. I was increasing so fast I was running out of room on my needles. So I added another pair, and then another, and then another. It feels like I have pointy sticks everywhere in this skirt. A close up:
Despite this madness the ruffle is turning out. However, tension is high on the bind off. I’m almost out of yarn. I have one needle left of stiches and a tiny tiny little ball of yarn left. Will I make it? I hope so because I’ve already redone the ruffle three times and I don’t want to do it again. I’m so close. If I run out I think I’ll just redo the bind off on smaller needles and hope that does the trick.
I LOVE this skirt! I mean LOVE it. I just found you on the girl wide web…I don’t knit, or crochet. I design cross stitch. If you go to my site you will see what I do. Can you make me one?! Is it fun to do the same thing twice? I love it. We could barter, I have GOBS of crafty stuff as well as access to it wholesale! Even if you can’t or plain don’t want to glad I found your blog, I will keep checking out your projects.
Do you listen to craftSanity? I had an interview on there a few podCasts ago…but that aside, Jennifer the interviewer finds lots of cool crafty people to talk to. Lots of knitters! Thanks! Heather
Heather-I’m glad you like the skirt and blog. A swap could be fun. Send me an email and let’s see what we can do.
And I have listened to craftSanity. I’ll have to go look up your interview.
