She is obviously an excellent writer and her blog is a work of art, literary and otherwise, but her post on forgiveness resonated with me in so many ways. She described the process of truly imagining the other person who harmed her as being a fallible human being, the product of his own environment and education. Would that there were more of that kind of thoughtful presence in this world! And yes, I am really looking forward to her next set of designs:)!FuguesStateKnitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14271842690827237203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-2630236883321426352018-11-15T10:30:37.294+00:002018-11-15T10:30:37.294+00:00"Maureened" comes from the name of a muc..."Maureened" comes from the name of a much loved cleaning lady in Connecticut more than 20 years ago. She was (I hope still is) very good at putting things in sensible places where no one could find them.

If you are steeking it you should have no problem at all with this. If you aren't and have not divided for the neck then do the back first and adjust the V accordingly.

Otherwise you are just going to worry and worry. Either of their ideas seems excellent, and no one will know it wasn't planned that way right from the start.<br /><br />Glad the zapper is back!<br /><br />Beverly in NJ, where they are threatening sn*w tomorrow.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-11876589106129511512018-11-14T21:08:48.381+00:002018-11-14T21:08:48.381+00:00Brilliant idea, Maureen.

When I do things like this I usually knit the center row of the pattern on the front only. I then do a three needle bind off using a crochet hook and the background shade, for some reason those stitches barely show. <br /><br />And I have to ask, why “Maureen’d”?Maureen in Fargohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12968439111278258364noreply@blogger.com
