One Down
Yikes! I forgot to post this one! It’s been sitting around waiting to be published for over a week.
Last night (Sep. 27) I finished up the pink Ruby I’ve been working on.
Project Stats:
Yarn: Opal Petticoat 1295 and Shelridge Farms Soft Touch Ultra 3-Ply Fingering Weight Yarn in Thistleflower
Pattern: Ruby (my own)
My plan was to show you how I sew the sleeve in, but upon writing the step by step, realised it makes a lot more sense to talk about mattress stitch first. I have another project coming up soon that I can photograph as I seam it together. Then I’ll show you my hybrid mattress stitch/grafting that I use for sewing row selvages to stitch selvages.
In the meantime my pink Ruby went on her merry way to Salt Spring Island to have a great time at Lucy Neatby’s Adventure Knitting camp without me. Hopefully she sold a few patterns and kits for me.
