Well I finished a couple weeks ago, just getting up the pics. I really enjoyed this pattern. Nice lace pattern, yet simple enough to memorize easy. V. convenient that, as I took it on many a plane trip and I hate needing a chart in such confined spaces. Still want to find another ribbon, probably in white. This one was just laying around. Now without further ado- the pics...
Ignore the top part flipped over :P Didn't notice it.
And the details...
Yarn: Caron simply soft in Papaya, about 2 1/2 skiens. Yeay for tops under $5!
Pattern: The famous Lelah, by HelenaJane of Craftster
Size: Followed the pattern for M
Needles: Denise 9 and 10 1/2
Modifications: I added a purl turning ridge for the hem and then when I bound off- I picked up the stitch from below and ktog with the stitch on the needle. Then bound of these stitches the normal way. So I just knitted the elastic band into it. Anytime not having to thread a needle and sew is a good day for me! I'll post a photo of the bound off edge if I get a chance.
your top is beautiful!
Hi, your knitting's really beautiful. I'd like to ask how I can knit elastic band into a work...
