I tend to pull too tightly and then it doesn't like evenly there. I have to tell myself that it's ok to leave it feeling loose, it'll all work out in the end and it will NOT fall apart. <BR/><BR/>I suppose you could work around this by doing a provisional cast on, knitting one half, then picking up stitches from the PCO to knit the other half.smariekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09100767973885900243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6695468479892351081.post-9581759631826947262008-12-03T09:31:00.000-08:002008-12-03T09:31:00.000-08:00I love your plant photos!

Is the visible seam a tension thing - the grafting stitches are tighter than the knitted stitches? Whatever, it looks like a design element to me. The stitch pattern you used is perfect.Margueritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936026798371276596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6695468479892351081.post-67778412767093955762008-12-03T06:02:00.000-08:002008-12-03T06:02:00.000-08:00As usual, gorgeous photos, and I love the cowls --...As usual, gorgeous photos, and I love the cowls -- bet they feel fantastic!Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05483752128029075112noreply@blogger.com
