The other thing is don't panic - and try blocking your swatch - the edges might just settle down when blocked.Stella (aka KKFrog)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04504256753709612615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23336194.post-27647395722653949852012-09-16T14:26:29.656-07:002012-09-16T14:26:29.656-07:00I really like the slouch on your hat!
I noticed ho...I really like the slouch on your hat!<br />I noticed how lovely and smooth the garter stitch edges were on your swatch and wondered if you had some advice for me.I am having trouble with an 8ply decorative garter stitch patch to be stitched to a throw I am making. The edges look tttterrible. I have just been knitting all stitches but someone suggested slipping the first stitch.Have you heard of this method?<br />Cheers<br />Robyn<br />MosgielRobynKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13363052010272253678noreply@blogger.com
