All I had left were buttonbands and end weaving, and I finished those last night. By 11:30, I had it washed and laid out, using my own haphazard blocking technique of squishing and patting a washed sweater into place, and crossing my fingers. I liked your idea of adding buttons, and added an extra one of my own. In a book my mom gave me some time in the 80s, with the off-putting title of THE RIGHT WAY TO KNIT, the author has some no-nonsense guides to picking up stitches--depending on the gauge of the yarn, you'll probably come out ok if you pick up 3 out of 4, or 5 out of 6 vertical stitches, or whatever. So, I usually pick up based on those guidelines, and then adjust, if needed. One of my favorite patterns didn't even bother giving a stitch count on the buttonband--just recommended picking up 3 out of 4 on the vertical, and away you go.<BR/><BR/>Whiskey Cardigan MarianAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15230386.post-84416962946941845512008-03-29T09:13:00.000-07:002008-03-29T09:13:00.000-07:00Your Tangled Yoke looks beautiful.

I do the same thing with my socks, when picking up stitches in the gusset, leaving no stitch unpicked up.<BR/><BR/>That's such a tragedy about Mr. Tall's sweater too.WandaWomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08162744520483511408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15230386.post-33201197825311513642008-03-27T19:57:00.000-07:002008-03-27T19:57:00.000-07:00Girl, the sweater is gorgeous!!
