You can't see the irregularities so easily.<br /><br />According to my calculations then, Katney, that's about 42 rows. At least it's only a mini bag so a few extra isn't going to matter too much!Liz Hindshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04646532093872561703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17218624.post-11095105830530205872015-05-04T21:47:19.515+01:002015-05-04T21:47:19.515+01:00It looks good--better than I usually do.

You might mark where you are with a safety pin and do a couple of rows to make sure you are counting correctly. You don't want to have 200 rows because you counted too few or only 50 because what you counted was two.<br /><br />As for adding a new ball of yarn, just overlap for a bit--knitting into the beginning of the new strand as you knit off the old one--I mean kind of twist the two together and act as if they were one. Be careful in the next row that you treat them as one instead of two.<br /><br />That's clear as mud I am sure, which George appears to be demonstrating on a picture on the next post.Katneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13399336885633739593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17218624.post-46598097738235158632015-05-04T20:54:24.199+01:002015-05-04T20:54:24.199+01:00Well done, you!

Could never get the stitches smooth and uniform, no matter how I tried. Yours, however, looks wonderful.MaryBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02412656596874731198noreply@blogger.com
