[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Putting in a lifeline

[Dixie]

Unfortunately, that is the downside of lifelines.

 

The only other thing I can suggest is using a 000 40” circular needle as your lifeline.  As it is finer, it will take up less room in those stitches.

Be glad, people of Zion, rejoice in the Lord your God, for he has given you the autumn rains because he is faithful. He sends you abundant showers, both autumn and spring rains, as before.

Annette reminded me that a lifeline is a very good idea when working with even simple lace, so I put one in my Kanak shawl, but knitting back on the row with the lifeline was very tight.  Is there a way to put in a lifeline without making knitting the next row difficult?

I used a free cable for my lifeline, so it’s not real thick, but thick enough to tighten things up on the next row.
