for sale on etsy. Wooden handles. Knit back sideways with a random pattern, and then knitted the two pieces of the front together for added strength. Crocheted edgings.
the cast on is tricky. I kept trying to rotate the work (ala a sock toe) instead of turn. envision making rainbow shaped arcs with the 5-stitch on each end as the tips of the rainbow. Worked on this for one evening, then knitting in, and then I decided I wanted to wear it the…
