Hi Listers,

I don't know what you mean about a life line.

Hi, Henry.
You can put a lifeline in, no matter what the shape of your piece is.
Just make sure you have the amount of ribbon for the length of your piece,
plus some extra for threading. I use the lifeline as much as possible,
changing them whenever I need to. For example, when I do socks, I put one in
after the toes, then halfway up the foot. Then I take the one from the toes
out and put it where the live stitches are when I finish the sole and want
to turn the heel. The stitches just sit on the lifeline the way they would
sit on the cable of your needle, so you can pull the lifeline out when
you're done.

I use the ribbon because I can tell it apart from the yarn, and because it
slips out easily when the lifeline needs to be removed.

HTH,
Dani
