Red It Shall Be

Thanks to all the red supporters out there who preferred the red trim to the brown trim for nona's t-shirt.  I hope you know by now, faithful reader, that nona likes to think for herself, but sometimes you have to go with the group -- so red trim it will be!

I absolutely love knitting with the Calmer and am almost up to the armholes on the back.  For the hem I decided to use an alternative turning technique.  Instead of using a purl row as the turning row, I used a picot edging -- a bit more feminine nona thinks.  Here's how I altered the pattern: (come on continue reading -- you'll see another picture...)

• Cast on
• Starting with a wrong side (WS) row, work 7 rows in stockinette stitch
• Next row -- a right side (RS) row -- work the picot edging.  K1 [yo, k2tog]*, k1
• Work 7 rows in stockinette stitch
• Next row -- a RS row -- turn the hem following Alison's directions.

Remember, a pattern is merely a suggestion to the intelligent knitter -- change it to suit your style and knitting preferences.
