just like the last one

Wednesday, March 16, 2005

While it may not be exactly true that the second front/back of Carla is exactly like the last one at this stage, the photos certainly would show it that way, which is my excuse for not taking one. What the photo would not show so clearly is that the ribbing seems to be a much more reasonable width knit on the same (larger) needles as the rest of the sweater. This time I also cast on holding a 5mm crochet hook together with the 9mm knitting needle and it was very satisfying to watch what happened when I had finished the ribbing and stretched it out to see how far it would go and how stretchy the cast on was. It was the first time I had actually paid attention the process of the big loops from casting on over two needles being pulled tighter and the gaps between them expanding to give a nice even edge. Having achieved better ribbing for the second piece the question is will I leave the ribbing of the first piece as is or will I do this?

I don’t know, coz I haven’t seen pictures which show the difference, but it’s probably something that only you will notice…So only change it if you have a bit of a perfectionist streak.
