It’s getting toward that time of year when showing photographs of finished objects becomes rather problematic. I finished an object yesterday. Pictures will follow, but not anytime soon.

Thanks, everyone, for the suggestions regarding dealing with fabric falling off of needles. Lillian’s suggestion gave me an idea. Because I was working in the round with multiple DPN’s I couldn’t figure out how to gather the knitting in fabric with a rubber band, but I figured that if gathering the knitting worked for Orenburg lace, I could figure out how to make it work for me.

With a little experimentation, I found the best method was to gather the fabric and tie it up with scrap yarn as I had been doing. However, instead of untying and re-tying the yarn every for every needle, I figured out I could work with the ties in place. This meant I was only tying and untying every five to seven rows. I would have switched to rubber bands, but one can’t untie rubber bands and pull them from between the stitches.

Now to the next project – one involving a double-ended crochet hook, some handspun alpaca, and some millspun alpaca …
