2.1 grams left, but the plan has changed. At our last post, I had one plain row, then the bind off row, and 3.1 grams of yarn left. In an uncharacteristic turn of events, I actually stopped to think before I did that plain row. I generally do a very loose cast off for lace, which chews up way more yarn than the usual “knit 2, pull the first stitch over the second stitch” cast off. I decided to skip the last plain row, and just wade into the binding off part a row early.
Here’s the bind off I’m using: Knit 2, put your left needle through the front legs of those two stitches, and then knit them together through the back loops. Knit 1, repeat, loosely. It makes a nice stretchy bind off for lace.
So I’m half way through the bind off row, and have 2.1 grams left. The
last row had 565 stitches, by the way. I should have about a gram left
at the end, which would have been short if I’d knit one more row.
Lewey says, “I knew that, if you’d asked me.” Or maybe he’s saying that it’s time for supper.
*See the previous several posts to find out what the heck I’m talking about.
Lewey’s just too damn cute. And he does look like he’s withholding information.
Oh, Lorette, that is BEAUTIFUL! I love it; Molly could have worn it on her wedding day if it hadn’t been 85 degrees! Lovely. E
Love the Lewey!
