and the book didn't fail me; I cast-on the Baby Kimono a week ago and finished the knitting yesterday but...there's always a but isn't there!
see how the back of the neck and the bottoms roll? I blocked it and they still roll - what to do.
Here's what the diagonal front edge looks like - just OK not wonderful.
Having recently read Kay's I-cord Tutorial (Feb 12, 2008) for making square corners I tried an I-cord edging.
and a close-up. What I wonder is does this edging treament over power the whole sweater? This is a worsted weight cotton and it makes a thick I-cord.
what do you think? I-cord or not?
The Soft Cabled Scarf is done.
I love this scarf; it's so soft and drapey. The yarn is Austermann Bamboo Soft (65% Merino 35% Bamboo) color 002 a deep rich black. (Photo is not representative of true color; altered to show details) It's Karabella Pattern #KK239, cashmere Hat and Scarf. The seed stitch borders give body to this soft yarn while the wide cable undulates up the center - I'll be making this scarf again.
I love to see glimses of other Blogger's private lives so here's the Photography Studio (Feb 28, 2008) where I work part-time; one of the owner's put pictures up on his blog. You'll usually find me in the Production Area.
