I did a post a week or two ago on cotton lined brims for the more sensitive Canadian forehead. My sister Penny requested one in the comment section of that post. I had been unsatisfied with the way I rejoined my mums headband, because I picked up from the back of the cast on edge with the cotton, then just cast them off together at the top. This made the top and bottom slightly different. I was sort of unhappy with this, but it took me a day or so of rumination to decide that I really did have to do what I knew all along I should do, so I cast off at the top of the front section and picked up a second set of stitches on a separate needle with cotton, and grafted the two sets of stitches together in the middle of the inside. Notice I am not showing that hack job I did of grafting! I am not a happy grafter in rib. Suffice to say, it is on the inside and no one will really see it.
I cast on 108 stitches and did one repeat of Ribbed Cluster Diamond Pattern, pg. 126.
Thanks Gill it is warm and comfy 😇❤
No problem, sis
So these posts that are named like “X, Barbara” – are they supposed to be like, things you’re telling Barbara about? Like, sentence fragments directed at Barbara?
Why yes, son. I wish I knew how to contact Barbara because after knitting more than halfway through her book, I think I have some ideas about her 50 years ago. But for now, I will just send snippets into the void.
