Heddi, try at your turning chain putting a safety pin, or stitch marker,
something that will tell you where the end of the row is.  Give that a whirl
and let me know if that helps, smile.

Becky and the boss, toothy grin, Love Jake

Hi Becky
How do you keep the afghan sides straight? I always have problems not to
increase stitches at the end and start of each row. I'd love to make a
pull-over for myself but it grows and grows in width as I go along, smiles.

Has anyone worked with Textures yarn from Lion Brand?

 

Talk about being purposeful as you use this yarn. I am making two afghans
for customers. One is with Homespun from Lion Brand. You know if you used
this yarn the stitches fall off your needles perfectly smoothly. But with
Textures you have to make it your business to be purposeful pulling up the
yarn to the height of your needle. But wow, what a glorious yarn with all
its magical colors blending and fading from one to another. 

 

Homespun goes faster, but the blending of color is great with Textures.
