To my knitters: How do I do what's in this picture? (and some other questions).

1 Answer

Answer :

well i started it with 30, since no one answered for a whole hour. sheesh, what is it, do you guys have lives outside of fluther or something? come on, get with the program here! but then i realized there there’s no “inside” and “outside” that way. it’s just like, striped, and i realized that right after i dropped a stitch and for some reason couldn’t figure out how to get it back, so then i just took the whole thing out. but i swear that’s the only time i’m doing that for this piece. really.
