Thanks for the suggestion Nina and I’m not offended! The way I look at it, if I’m not learning, then I am not getting any beter at what I do (the old “if you’re coasting you are going downhill”)
Actually, I totally agree with your remedy, however the bottom is k1 p1… and I think it rolled because of where it is on jt’s belly, and because I picked up the stitches for the bottom ribbing, which means that they are really coming out the front at a slight angle.. If I was to do it again, I would knit the sweater a few inches longer longer with a hem at the bottom. It would look a lot cleaner and not roll up! But alas, there it is to stare at me until the sweater disintegrates…

Thanks for the encouragement to write more often… I will.

Wow! This is a great design! I love your blog, please post more often! Regarding the rolling of the bottom edge… Perhaps it’s rolling because you’re knitting one side and purling the other? Knit stitches are naturally shorter than purl stitches, making the fabric roll when you’ve got more than a couple rows… ? I usually knit both sides for a couple rows on the bottom edges to avoid this problem. I hope this suggestion isn’t ridiculous to you. You’re obviously a very experienced knitter so I don’t mean to offend in any way!

I think I already told you how great this sweater looks, but I feel the need here to repeat myself: that is a SERIOUSLY cool sweater Lisa! I am very, very impressed. Also, I’m totally digging on Justin’s hair/facial hair in these pictures. What larks!
