Pillow Talk
You know after that self imposed day of knitterly celibacy I got right back to it yesterday. I was careful to take breaks and I was feeling no pain. I managed to finish the front of Be My Love Pillow, but not without its setbacks. With just two rows of seed stitch left until the bind off, I doubted myself. I thought I saw a mistake. I checked and rechecked. Mistake. So I ripped back about a dozen rows and got back to work. And then. I got to the same place in my seed stitch and looked down and saw the same thing that had bothered me before. Did I make a mistake again? NO! I'd never made a mistake in the first place! Ughhh. So now the front of the pillow is done and is even blocking.
But I am in a bit of a quandary. The original (dish cloth) pattern has the work showing Reverse Stockinette up, making for a more subtle design. Most of the finished projects in Ravelry have it showing Stockinette side up. Now because this is a pillow, with a front and a back I have to choose which to show. I have three choices. (You'd think there would only be two, but this is me, always making things more complicated.)
I could show the Reverse Stockinette side:
Or Stockinette side up
As for the finishing, I'm still thinking applied I-cord, but I've got some researching to do first. If anyone has any ideas please share.
Now, here's a funny coincidence. I am not particularly partial to this color. It's not that I dislike it at all, I'd just never call it one of my favorites. And yet, here I am with my second pillow, and I ended up using this color both times. Good thing New Roommate's Icosa Pillow is all set to be made up with something altogether different!
