Autumn Cape Bag 2022 Part 4

I am not having a good time.

Unpicked Sigh

 

If there is one thing that I hate doing it is Unpicking. I always Drop Stitches and the ones I don’t Drop I end up Twisting. On this occasion it took me two whole days to sort out. It wasn’t helped by my constant coughing.

Cast Off

 

I eventually managed to carry on Knitting. This time I didn’t decrease at all. Therefore it too me much longer. You cannot see it very well in the above photograph as it has Rolled.

I have Knitted a few Inches before Casting Off. It isn’t quite as long as before but that is due to loss of Wool from the Unpicking Process.

Blanket Stitch

 

I left an unusually long Tail upon Casting Off. This is so I could Sew up the Bottom. I have used Blanket Stitch. This isn’t really the correct Stitch for the job.

There is a Stitch used in Knitting called the Mattress Stitch used for joining two pieces together. However I haven’t ever really got the hang of it. I am certainly in no fit state to try it now.

Around the Corner

 

I Blanket Stitched to the End. Then since this will have a great deal of weight on it I turned and Sewed back along the Piece. Since the Bottom was Brown I carried on around the Corner. Now I need to consider what to do next.
