Body count ...again
I am two rows in the actual body. Second time may be a charm. We will see. :) Read on if you want glory details ..
I CO'ed and started knitting .. on the row 1 of 6 of St st, I realized I miss counted. I backtracked and added 5 stitches .. I continued and realized I am still off .. stitch markers only help if I counted correctly between them. doh. Take 2, I finally got thru 6 rows of St st .. but
somehow I am turned around and I am backwards from the end I need to pull the provisonal CO off. argh. So I compromised and put all 216 stitches on another needle. phew.. I knit both together and have a long rectangular hem. Take a deep breath.
I tried to join the hem at that point. Which ended up with two really f*** stitches. After that failed attempt, I gave upI crossed two end stitches together at row 1 of body. I used the end to join the 6 stitches of hem. All this left me with an ok joint ...
The hem is not twisted. I won tne twisted hem, but lost the joint battle. I am ok with that.
