I'm going to have to play with this some. I'm also not a fan of seams, so I'm going to try it in the round today. Thank you so much for your help. You are wonderful!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20538117.post-61357381972241201392008-03-05T08:35:00.000-05:002008-03-05T08:35:00.000-05:00Jennifer,I'll also post this on your blog, but yes...Jennifer,<BR/><BR/>I'll also post this on your blog, but yes, I'd do the m1 as a pickup bar below -- as I might try making these in a bulky (and do a drawstring at the top to make fillable eggs), I will twist the bar as I pick it up so that there is no hole made ....<BR/><BR/>Remember, different kinds of inc/dec can be decorative -- so you "could" do holes on purpose (yos) and rather than stuffing the egg, stiffen with heavy starch (or water and glue mix) and use a balloon for shaping, than pop the balloon and you'd have a nice, airy egg for a mobile or other decoration. (You could also do lace rather than colorwork for such eggs).Mary Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17295815960754677983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20538117.post-43076536585293872292008-03-04T15:42:00.000-05:002008-03-04T15:42:00.000-05:00Are these not the cutest things?

OK, I was wishing you'd stop by this morning, but since you've seen the pattern, would you M1 by picking up the lower yarn in between the stitches? That's what I did and it seems to be quite neat and lovely. Is that how you would approach it as an expert knitter?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
