You can let go of that breath that you were holding :)<br /><br />As for pick up and knit, if at first you don't succeed ... well, you know the rest. You want to be as pleased with the finishing as you are with the rest of the sweater after all that work!Minding My Own Stitcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13946752212001968413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1031742096606295110.post-39476801382550873332011-08-31T15:23:17.044+01:002011-08-31T15:23:17.044+01:00Both projects are progressing nicely.

Along the front edge use this mantra, pick up 3 stitches for every 4 rows. Do not pick up the number the pattern tells you to unless you have perfect row gauge. Most of us never have perfect row gauge! If you pick up too many sts it will ruffle, if you pick up too few it will bow. If you are doing 1x1 ribbing, pick up an odd number, if you are doing 2x2, pick up an even number that can be divided by 4 and add 2 sts. If this doesn't make sense, yell at me, I will be happy to help.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10320479482884046928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1031742096606295110.post-62520405852336903392011-08-31T13:37:44.689+01:002011-08-31T13:37:44.689+01:00Good luck with the pick up and knit!
