![]() Of course usually it’s for 50 years rather than 50 issues, but being a publication that has always loved yellow (and by extension gold!) it feels like a great time to embrace that love, while reflecting on the fact that we have reached such a special milestone. I would be grateful for any advice given.For Pom Pom’s 50th issue (how did we make it so far?!) we decided to lean into the tradition of celebrating the number 50 with gold. I am writing a note to every vid and help site is search of help as my last resort is to strip the poms off the string and cast off that way (it just doesn't seem to be the elegant solution to me - and I've only been doing this a week!) There just has to be a cleaver solution to this prob, I'm too novice to figure it out on my own. I've tried casting off (over half a day and multiple different ways). I want it to look the same as the flat start. It doesn't have the stretch of the start side.Īs I am working with 9 stitches facing up k2tog leaves one behind and (as I understand it) tapers the rows down to a point. Using the usually cast off method of slipping the last stitch over the new stitch I am left with a pleasing crotchet effect - but the end is all bunched up. The string between wraps around (the 3.75 mm needles I am using) only one full circle. To describe the poms are seemingly half the size of the Rico brand poms. My wool is a non standard size, I think, (I can only do one stitch between each pom pom). After watching a few you tube vids, inventing my own way of casting on and knitting for a day, I have this gorgeous scarf that is impossible to bind off! My Ma had this pretty wool, she never used it so I snatched it up (so I have it with no wrapper with handy instructions on it). I'm on holiday, am determined and for years said I couldn't do this knitting thing. I am very new to knitting (I learned last week).
