Debra,

I hear ya!  I am always looking to learn new techniques and then find ways
to employ them.  I confess I had a bear of a time trying to do the 3-needle
bind-off.  I did finally get it, but for my second cloth, I wanted to see
how the kitchner would look.  Actually, I liked that the kitchner laid flat
and is virtually invisible.  What ever gets me out of sewing is good with me
and I will be practicing my 3-needle bind-off until it comes easier for me.

Also, my main problem was the picked up stitches.  They were easy enough to
pick up, but they were way too tight - I could hardly get my needle in to
knit them off.  I did wind up doing knit stitches as I could not do the
purls without dropping stitches (frown)!

Keep those needles clicking!

Blessings, 
Ninn

Hey Ninn,

If you can do Kitchener, then you'll be able to do the three-needle bind off
like a breeze once you get the hang of it.  Learning new techniques is fun
but it's great to know all sorts of ways to do things.  One night one
technique will work better than another. <g<

I so much enjoyed that short-row class!!  I had done short-rows before but
Donna is such a great teacher, and she gave me some new ways of doing
things.  And everybody was so much fun!

And I'm the one that had the short-row mitten pattern and I've written
Mariela to see what she says.

Deb B.
