Aloha, Monika ... I...This is from Carol in Hawaii:<br /><br />Aloha, Monika ... I tried to leave a message on your blog page, but it wanted a "profile" and I don't even know what that means. <br /><br />I think your stripes are coming out as "jogless" as possible. I use that same method and always can tell where the colors join. And even in the Tech Knitting example you can see the jog (and I bet they are using quite thin yarn, which would show less of a jog). I say go for it the way it's being done, or else don't attempt stripes. It is HAND knitting, not machine perfection!<br /><br />Hope you're doing well. Please say hi/aloha to Sim Souen for me. Hope he's succeeding and enjoying the work. --Carol in HonoluluMonika Nowaczykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02413455368950915096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3097747962784730928.post-6104729149774707632010-01-18T11:58:58.622+07:002010-01-18T11:58:58.622+07:00I think that considering that you are working in c...I think that considering that you are working in cotton, the joins look pretty good. But I agree - not pretty. Three suggestions: 1. do the joins on the side, where they will be less visible; 2. do the monster body in side-to-side then mattress stitch it together, given that their mattress stitch is so beautiful; and 3. (my preferred) - just let the stripes jog on the monster's back; the knitting is otherwise so perfect that the little jog will just add to the beauty of the knitting and show how even it is. You can call it the monster's back plates or scales or whatever. Just make them part of the monster!Małgorzatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10445383213492121392noreply@blogger.com
