[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Successfull Saturday

Hi Deb,

Sorry for not replying before, I was swamped at work. Thank you Tracy for the great explanation.

One tip I read is to add lifelines instead of moving them. Or keep the last few and move the oldest. Just in case you find a mistake later that happen to be before your last lifeline.

Any tips for the easiest way to add a lifeline /recover from one would be appreciated. I understand the theory but I’m having some challenges with the application.  I’m not giving up tho. This sound too useful a tool to not have it in the toolbox. :)

Sonya

Thanks so much.

I have a specific knitting pattern I really need this for. I had a blanket almost half done and dropped a stitch that kept laddering down and I couldn’t replicate the pattern. I got frustrated and took the entire blanket apart and crocheted the blanket instead.

I will use this and move it or add another every few inches in this pattern.

Thanks again.

Blessings,

Deb Trevino

A lifeline is a line you put through your knitting.  Then, if something goes wrong in the pattern, you can pull out the needles and rip the knitting back to the line, then put the needles back in there and try again.  I’ve used it for complicated lace patterns.  The line can be a length of yarn,  a cord, or a free cable.

Glad you are better and getting things done.

Now, what is a lifeline?

Hi,

I was on leave from December 20th to January 12th. And all that time I was sick with a bronchitis. I’m feeling better, symptoms free for the last 3 days. So after 24 days of sickness, reason enough to celebrate!

But during all that forced down time I did finish some projects. I finished a navy blue scarf for Suzie, the stockinette with garter stitch border and a zig zag effect scarf I mentionned before. . I was able to give it to her on December 24th.

I made a smaller 4 feet  black scarf using the same     patternfor my father’s wife. (Not my mother but they have been together over 30 years before he passed away in 2022)

She is one of my biggest fan where me picking up knitting again is concerned. So I’m happy I was able to make something for her.

Oh and I finished the last of the three giant granny square I made as rugs for our cat.

Next step: making a testing piece and practice getting the hang of making a lifeline.

Wishing everyone a great 2025!

Sonya
