the dreaded ujein is finally finished! i realised that because of the pattern, i couldn't pick up and knit extra at the bottom without making a mess of it all. so i did a nice stretchy long-tail cast on, knit an extra couple of inches following the pattern, and grafted it on. argh.
stretchy cast-on!! stretchy cast-on!! i can not stress this enough.
also, if you are making this out of something springy instead of something drapey, knit it longer.
other than that, it's great!
knitting and sewing projects inspired by the movies.
