Lessons Learned
- Fisherman Rib knits up WIDE (hmmm... larger garment widths)
- Watching the colors change is FUN!
- All that practice with Ribber cast on methods was sooo worth it!
- If I had swatched .... I would have knit at a looser tension and the blanket would have been even wider
- If I had swatched, I would have KNOWN how long it was going to be :-)
Lesson learned: Swatching is NOT optional ... duh... - Tubular (Kitchener) bind off always takes longer than I expect ... "Honey dinner has to wait until I finish this"
Knit on my Brother 260, I used 3 Caron Big Cakes (with some left over) Color Blueberry Torte.
