Houray - I have another finished object. I really enjoyed this stitch (after I got past the initial shock of all that yarn dropping off my needle). After a few false starts and moving to bamboo needles so it wouldn't be so slippery, I got the rhythm.
I found a spot where I'm going to have to darn in an accidental yarn-over - but if I wait until I have a perfect project, I'll never get anything finished!!
Yarn -
Koenig Farm Mohair, lace wt.; color-Autumn (supporting my Kentucky agriculture businesses
)
Needles - sz 11 bamboo straights
Tips to Share - After I finished, I realized it would've been better if I'd used a larger needle size for the bind-off. I bound off too tightly and one end is narrower than the other. Also, this yarn looked really messy until I blocked it. It could use a little more blocking I think - this time with some weight attached to each end to stretch the stitches even more - I'll have to think up some way to do that. Any suggestions??
