And there are news...

on the first cardie!

*three cheers for me*

I blocked it yesterday and upon trying the body on, I realized I really did not like the regular basic bind off, since it creates to firm an edge on the peplum. After consulting my Knitting Answer book, I decided to do it the hard way...I unraveled the whole edge (327 stitches), caught them on the needle, threaded my darning needle and then I spent hours after hours (well, there was a quick bbq in between, my boyfriend decided it was warm enough) doing the sewn bind off. Much nicer!

I will rip out the hoodie sleeve binding and do the same, since I never liked that bind off! There you have it...progress...
