Over all my years of knitting, for some reason I never tried picot edging. So when the pattern for these gave instructions for all those yarn overs and k2togs, and a turning round, I was totally confused but just followed orders. And there it was! I had no idea.
Then I gave myself a sticker for being a special knitter. In my defense, the pattern pic didn't show the edge clearly.
These mitts are a thank-you gift for a friend. Can't wait to give them to her.
Posted by jess at November 23, 2009 8:06 AM | TrackBackWhat a surprise! I like this picot edge much better than the fiddly picot cast-on. Blech, that one's not much fun.
Posted by: Jodi at November 23, 2009 12:50 PMI love love love them! These are going on the fingerless mittens I'm starting tonight!
Posted by: Holly at November 23, 2009 3:35 PMThey are great! Beautiful ring, too.
Ha, funny about the surprise picot. I am the same, I just blithely follow instructions. Fortunately there are not many mischievous pattern-writers around, it'd be a long time before I noticed I was being led up the garden path.
I have tried picot - I tried lots of different bind-offs to come up with the perfect one for the edge of a hot-water bottle cover; in the end I did a decrease bind-off, which wasn't perfect (you can see it here http://interknitter.blogspot.com/2008/05/ellis-hot-water-bottle-cover.html ), but I preferred it to picot. And now I understand the goodness! They are lovely. Hope the recipient realises how perfect the picot is.
Posted by: Philippa at November 23, 2009 3:53 PMYum! I dig picot. It's called "mouse teeth edging" in German, which I find charming rather than creepy.
I don't think I've ever seen a close-up of your ring -- it's so lovely!
Posted by: Sarah at November 23, 2009 4:57 PMoooh, those look lovely, picot and all. pattern, please?
Posted by: mamie at November 23, 2009 6:32 PMVery, very pretty!
Posted by: Rose at November 23, 2009 6:43 PMI have to admit that I've never knit picot edging.
Posted by: Knittripps at November 23, 2009 7:20 PMWhat is that yarn? The colour is absolutely stunning!
Posted by: Kristin at November 23, 2009 9:30 PMI've never even heard of this! I like! I also like that you gave yourself a sticker for being special. I appreciate very much.
Posted by: Brookeb at November 23, 2009 9:47 PMLove your mitts! I just made the same pattern in white, and I'm working on a pair in taupe too. Only my second attempt at a picot edging too, but I love it.
Blessings,

Same for me! Kind of like the first time I made socks too--I didn't really get the whole short row thing but lo and behold, a heel.
Posted by: Sara at November 24, 2009 2:11 PMThis is great and very nice! :-)

Posted by: credit loans at July 7, 2010 9:18 AMHi I just wanted to leave a comment to say that I enjoy your blog. Looking at the number of comments, I see others feel the same way! Congratulations on a very popular blog.
Posted by: online public health schools at August 15, 2010 10:55 AMAbsolutely agree with what you stated. Your explanation was by far the simplest to understand. I say to you, I often get annoyed when people talk about things that they plainly have no idea about. You managed to hit the nail right on the head and rolled out everything clearly. I hope, other people can take a signal. Will likely be back for more. Keep it up!
