KnitWit 44: Why tell stories?

Filed under: podcast — Autumn Breeze at 2:00 pm on Saturday, November 25, 2006

Reminder: Spin to Knit Secret Pal Exchange deadline is Dec 1 (2006) see button on side or previous post for link.

No offers yet for the make a button contest. Handknit hat or knitting book your choice.

Grey shawl is done. Here are some pictures.

Front of Grey Shawl

Notice how well it wraps around. This is because I knit 2 triangles instead of one big one. Increases are on the sides and in the middle of the back.

Back of Grey Shawl

Note gusset in the back to change shape. I like this shape better than the normal pointy shawls. It just requires moving the increases from the middle to either side of the gusset.

Back gusset detail
Here is a picture of the lace edge. This is an easy edge lace. You knit the lace onto the shawl by knitting the last stitch of the lace to the next stitch on the shawl. No sewing necessary.
Lace edging

I talk about my first real exposure to stories and the lessons I learned from them.

Please let me know what you think.

I love rounded edges much better than pointy ones, too. Beautiful! Love your podcasts, thanks for keeping us entertained with your wonderful stories.

hi carry,

i’ll try my hand at the button. are there any guidelines (preferred colors, button size, etc)? how about a deadline?

*—————————————————————————-*

No real guidelines.  I was thinking Dec 15 as the deadline.  This will give people a little while to join in.

Thanks.

It’s great.  I think I am going to have to open this up to a public vote.  ‘Cause I don’t think I can pick.

Thanks.  Carry.
