I am very happy with the results. I was a little worried about the decreases. Basically, I followed Lucy Neatby’s instructions for the sock toe, but with several more repeats. It wasn’t hard at all. On the last row, I kept knitting two together until there were four stitches left. Then, I made a short I-cord. I’ve already started a little scarf. I’m still fooling around with it. The diagonal stripes should be on both sides of the scarf. That’s the problem!
I signed up for two classes at MD Sheep & Wool. Now, it’s ‘wait and see’ if I get in or not. I had forgotten to look earlier. I had to print out the application and MAIL it in with TWO CHECKS. Jeez!
