[NFB-Krafters-Korner] discovery

[Bernice Bird]

I disassembled the cast on because I needed just a couple of extra rows of border. I just kept pulling the end of the yarn where it let me pull it through, and when it showed me a stitch loop I put it on my needle. I think I took out 2 rows, but I just put those rows back in plus a couple more.

I have 9 rectangles done, and they are all different. I'm working extra hours, and I knit between calls when I can. I have to keep the pattern simple so I can keep track while answering the phone.

I am using size 9 needles, and depending on the pattern I use 24 or 28 stitches. If there are cables and or ribbing I use more stitches to get the right width.

I am having to block them. I bought these great blocking squares. They are like a jig saw puzzle the way the connect together. Each one is a square foot, and there is a grid marked on them so you can get the right measurement. They come with t shaped pins. My friend helped me put 3 more rectangles on the blocks tonight. 

Take care,
Bernice and the adorable Lolo.

Hi Bernice,

Wow, you are a talented lady! I have attempted to undo a bind off without success, so I admire that you were able to do it successfully.
 so how exactly do you do it without dropping stitches?
I am also making rectangles but don’t have many made yet. But it is fun knitting them. 
What needle size are you using and are you using 35 stitches per inch? To Make my rectangles seven inches across I have had to use 22 stitches. I believe my needle is an eight. Even with a size six I could not get the 5 stitches per inch. <sigh>


May God bless you.
