Knitting with ribbon yarn
I made a shell using Colinette's new Giotto ribbon yarn. It felt a bit stiff, even harsh, unwound and unknitted, but worked up really beautifully. Here's the result. Soft, pliable and pretty.


The bottom wanted to curl, stockinette-like. I combatted the curl first by using a knit/purl cast-on and also by adding slip stitch crochet rows on both the right and wrong sides. The resulting edge looks nice.

A beautiful shell and I enjoy wearing it very much. Thanks to the best mother-in-law in the world!

WOW!! Thank you for your very kind words. One always hopes people like what you make but you just never know. And, well, I have the best daughter-in-law in the world, so I guess it's all related (pun intended).

Love from the g'ma of the TCGITW.
