[Nfb-krafters-korner] Fwd: looking for a dish cloth pattern

[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

Eileen;
I have been using the plastic saftypin markers just like the circular ones.  Right now, I have a safetypin for the beginning of my circle and round ones for the rest of my work.  Are you saying the safetypin locks into the actual stitch?  I never understood the advantage to the safetypins.  Maybe I am using them wrong.

Terry P.

Hi Cindy:

If you want to place stitch markers on to indicate when you get to those stitches that get purled, they go directly onto the shaft of the needle. 
The only problem with this mostly garter stitch pattern is that on alternate rows, those purl stitches get knitted.  An alternate suggestion for you is to place either a locking stitch marker or coiless safety pin directly onto the fabric when you are on the purl side.  Every time the face of the fabric that has the marker or pin on it faces you, then you will purl, when that side faces away from you just knit across the row.

Don't use just any old safety pin as they have a good chance of catching on your knitted fabric.

HTH.

Eileen
