I’m not sure where to enter a question for the podcast so I’m going to try here.
When a pattern says to co a provisional co and on the first row sl1 then knit to the end on the set up row. how do you proceed.
Do I knit the first row of the provisional co and then on the next row sl1 and knit to the end.
Linda – you can send your podcast questions to podcast@verypink.com, thanks!
Fun hearing the question about knitting with glow in the dark yarn. I got some (Gert’s Glow House – fingering weight – Bernat doesn’t make theirs anymore), and I looked through patterns, too many of which had cables, ribbing, or other fanciness. I just wanted a straight, stockinette beanie so I could chart out my image idea. Plain stockinette beanies are very rare! In fact, I went to Ravelry, picked “Male,” “fingering,” and “beanie/toque” from the filters, and typed “stockinette” in the search box, and got ONE HAT. It was Darrin by DROPS, but it held the fingering double, and I don’t have enough (I think). I finally just swatched and am working out my own thing. I know how; I’m just lazy. I had a great time (5 times!) casting on 160 stitches in a tubular cast on with this very light fingering (possibly lace) yarn that I’m using for the non-glow color, on size 0 bamboo DPNs. Curse my 24″ hat size! What a Halloween adventure.
