Hour 4.5

I spent most of hour 3 knitting on a ribbing to the entrelac basket-cap I made from an issue of Wool Gathering. And most of the second hour trying to do a sewn bind-off. I was following Nancy Wiseman’s technique in her book of finishing techniques, thinking that blind following would be fine. But after getting 10 stitches in twice and having a twisted purl bind-off instead of the desired knit rib bind-off, I gave up. I realized that I know kitchener and I can read my knitting, so I’m gonna stop reading the book. When my movie (Spellbound) ended, this is where it was:

This is a view of the mess that surrounds me:

Then I decided it was time to stop soaking things and block.

Here’s the Walker swatches:

    Wow, you are really making great progress! I wonder if EZ’s directions for the sewn bindoff are better?

    Unquestionably believe that that you stated. Your favorite justification seemed to be at the internet the easiest factor to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get irked while other folks consider concerns that they just do not recognize about. You controlled to hit the nail upon the highest and defined out the entire thing with no need side-effects , other people can take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thank you
