I’m on the collar of the VCC

And I’d be done with the collar, if I hadn’t forgot to slip the first stitch of the row, 10 rows back. Unfortunately, it’s too noticeable for me to ignore, so I ripped it, and I have another hour of collar knitting ahead of me. But…

Isn’t it pretty? After I finish the collar, I want to attach the sleeves, then lay the whole thing out flat to block. While it’s drying, I will knit the filler panels with the yarn that used to be the original armholes.

We’re close, very close.

And I saw something over the weekend I think you should see. If you think I’m creative with the Best Friend Doll pattern, check out what Lisa did!! (Scroll down). Isn’t it great? How on earth did she do that skinny little nose? It can’t be i-cord.

We’re having our extremely large pumpkin carving party tonight. Nate’s excited. I’m just tired. But I know it will be a lot of fun.

    The VCC looks great. So great, I might need to buy that pattern!

    I think that skinny nose was i-cord, maybe just 2 stitches?

    I have not been able to do a 2 stitch i-cord. Maybe I’m not that talented. But even still, it’d have to be some pretty thin yarn to make a skinny little nose like that.

    That looks great! Did you say which issue it was from? (If you did, I missed it.)

    Thanks! It’s out of the Holiday 2004/05 Vogue Knitting.

    Maybe she crocheted it. In the middle of knitting, she could have just chained out a few, then slipped or singled back.

    Oh, but it is!!! I-cord on size 2 needles from yarn I unwound to make a skinny little ply!!!

    Wow – I would have never thought to unwind the yarn to make it smaller – what a cool way to make a small feature like that in the same color!
    By the way, love the cardi… looks like it’ll be awhile before I get started on mine. I have a bunch of stuff to do before Christmas!
