Pineapple Reversals
Jul. 11th, 2016 06:20 amI thought I was doing so well on my pineapple. I finished the leaves and then started the fruit. I wasn't quite sure I was doing it right, but I figured I needed to do a bit to be sure. It was wrong so now I get to pick back to the first row after the color change. Not fun. And it's hard to pick up dropped stitches with the beading cord that likes to split and 5-0 needles.
Not fun at all.
In more fun news, I finished a little late 17th century knit purse. It will be good to go with my mantua, and I'm going to use it with my early 17th century stuff until I have better information.

The most fun part is that the gauge came out to what the pattern called for when I picked my needles for the way I wanted my stitches to look rather than any kind of measurement. I didn't even check the gauge until the bag was finished. It's the perfect size for driver's license and credit card and cash folded in half.
