[Nfb-krafters-korner] helmit liner

Thu Jun 10 12:27:25 UTC 2010

I have been checking every section, because I forget to wrap, sometimes.
Figured out how to solve the problem on the next row if I forget to wrap and have a strand connecting 2 stitches.  It looks like it is doing that.

Another tip, remember to take your time on the first two rows. I always take three to four times longer to complete these rows because I double check things every five or ten stitches.
