Back to Basics
I made a swatch, well not the whole thing, just got about ten rows into the garter stitch when I just couldn't stand the wonky look of the ribbing. So I came to this site, read your comment on the last post and was reminded about the archived articles. Sooooo, I have downloaded and printed a few off, unravelled the #$%&@! swatch and will spend the day reading and practicing. I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS GOING TO BE THIS HARD!

I know, I know!
ReplyDeleteWhat I've been doing is this:
-read the articles,
-knit something else in the meantime,
-knit the ribbing (with everything in my head)
-continue to knit ribbing until I'm satisfied
-cast on for swatch.
So, I knit my fist swatch. And then I put it away. I might just knit it again, later... when I learn a better way for increasing, or something else!
Hold tight Diana, it'll work out to our benefit!
