I was Medusa one year for our dress up day. We were studying the Greek myths and some of the students were also characters. SO much fun putting the rubber snakes in my hair. Thanks for another fun podcast, Beth. Always enjoy watching you.
Thanks for stopping by, Lynne! It was suggested to me, at some point, that I be Medusa instead of the snake lady who teases people with her pet snakes. I never got to the point of making my snake wig, but it sounds like fun.
I like to add short rows, but certainly am no expert. I, like you, do tend to do modifications. Mine are usually to simplify things. 😊 Always a joy to watch you podcast. ❤
Not a short row expert, but I envision them being appropriate right above the bust line. That way you get the nice inward curve at the neck before it straightens back out.
I like your idea of doing the short rows on the shoulder. I would just do stockinette and let it be a design feature. You’ll have a visible wedge but the top of the shoulder is a good place for that. Or you can do it in garter stitch if the background of the stitch pattern is garter. That might be better.
I have zero sweater design experience, but your logic of adding the short rows at the shoulders seems quite solid, but yes, maybe a bit sticky as you say. Looking forward to hearing about this journey.
I’m making a new color work sweater and spend a lot of time tinking out because I messed up. There are three colors and a few rows where you use all three colors in the row. Not sure I’m up to the challenge. 😮😊
@@pandemicknitter not ripping,but a lot of tinking. I can see the problem before I get too far, but I’m not sure about one of the yarns. I think it isn’t the correct weight. The yarn band says it is, but it doesn’t feel or look right. May have to rip out and find another yarn. Problem is that I have run out of options and money at the same time. Guess I will have to put this on hold for a bit.
