The Bratt...Leaving a comment here so you see it.... The Brattleboro Hat wasn't too bad in regard to picking up stitches.... I placed stitch markers in four sections and then did 20 stitches in each section, made it easier to have uniformity. Try it... you might really love it and gain a skill that you currently avoid. BTW, New England Knits is a great book and I have my eye in at least four projects I really want to wear.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14037559085102995318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-673966415825003543.post-91667304208973028312011-10-08T10:13:29.837-04:002011-10-08T10:13:29.837-04:00I love that little bib.

But I love how easy it turned out to be :)<br /><br />@FoFo - aw, thank you :) You should try them! If you can slip a stitch, you can cable. Looks much more difficult than it is...try something small such as a bib or washcloth. You will be amazed at how they appear like magic.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13003181999603861937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-673966415825003543.post-73737277963772235652011-10-07T08:25:46.662-04:002011-10-07T08:25:46.662-04:00Very nice bib!
