I have worked on 3 of my knitting projects today. Nothing got finished. I did however find a very delightful cast off in the Picot Edge Style. There are countless ways to make a Picot Edge. As usual I have found a simple but elegant edging for my new shawl. It only takes one extra length of yarn at the end. 5 lengths of yarn versus 4 lengths of yarn for a stretchy bind off.
The next clue in my new pattern design is as follows.
1. Knit 2 stitches on to the left hand needle.
2. Bind off 4 stitches
3. Slip the remaining stitch on the right hand needle back on to the left needle.
Repeat steps 1, 2, & 3 until the bind off is complete.
Weave in the end.
For left handed knitters just reverse my instructions to read:
1. Knit 2 stitches on to the right hand needle.
2. Bind off 4 stitches.
3. Slip the remaining stitch on the left hand needle back to the right hand knitting needle.
Repeat steps 1, 2, & 3 until the bind off is complete.
Weave in the ends..
who is ready for a new knitting pattern?
Yes, I did manage a few chores. I am also wondering when the bruise from Wednesday’s surgery will go away. It is looking nasty. Did a little more deep cleaning.
