I also have a different color in the premiere b/c the person I ordered from didn't have as many in the white as they said...so I'm getting a blue color instead. That's what you get when you order on ebay...<BR/>Anyway thanks for all support guys, it's nice to hear that someone else besides you likes your designs.Hattiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15672123162806640677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2015647452516526528.post-55666421921247076262007-03-27T10:54:00.000-07:002007-03-27T10:54:00.000-07:00I am so glad you decided to share your ideas becau...I am so glad you decided to share your ideas because that is the seed of every project.

Both ideas are really cute though. :)Ruinwen Dagoriellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17838849121945131543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2015647452516526528.post-69048194895834346082007-03-27T00:36:00.000-07:002007-03-27T00:36:00.000-07:00I second Marnie on the knitted casing.

I'm using something similar on Mishka (my Premiere design) for a different effect, but I think it would serve your purposes here well, too.<BR/><BR/>I have to put in a plug for your second design, too, though. It's really current in feel and I'd love to see you do both!Julia (MindofWinter)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13380850788576680975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2015647452516526528.post-64900099991399963802007-03-26T20:30:00.000-07:002007-03-26T20:30:00.000-07:00Yeah, I'm still waiting on the yarn but I really l...Yeah, I'm still waiting on the yarn but I really like your idea too. I might be more inclined to use the ribbon instead for more of a decorative look. I think I actually had one drawn that way but thought it would be too much. I could just do stockinette, with eyelets for ribbon like on the second sketch. Thanks for the suggestions, they are really helping to broaden my ideas a bit and finalize the details.Hattiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15672123162806640677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2015647452516526528.post-20946209495975060992007-03-26T16:36:00.000-07:002007-03-26T16:36:00.000-07:00Hattie,Personally, I would be inclined to make a k...Hattie,<BR/>Personally, I would be inclined to make a knitted casing and run elastic through the bust detail. I would increase in every stitch at the start of the band, then move every other stitch to a separate needle. I would work the band straight for as long as I want it on the outer band, then knit it the same on the inner band, leaving an opening to run the elastic through. Then I'd knit one stitch from each needle togehter to reduce back to the original stitch count and close the band. If you are working in separate pieces, the opening can be left at the side seams, just remember to sew the inside and outside separately to keep it open. Alternately, I might do a ribbon like you have indicated for the top of the bottom sketch. <BR/>However, that's just my preference. Since it's drapy yarn, you may find that my concern is really unfounded and your idea will work great. It never hurts to swatch :)Marniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13515010305975185984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2015647452516526528.post-24775067490616145022007-03-26T11:32:00.000-07:002007-03-26T11:32:00.000-07:00The straps I'm thinking will just be icord, perhap...The straps I'm thinking will just be icord, perhaps binding off all other stitches except for three in four spots, knitting the icord at the front, and grafting to the back. <BR/><BR/>I plan on using a larger needle, so hopefully that will counteract the thickness of the yarn. <BR/><BR/>As for the purl ridge, do you think plain stockinette might be more effective as a design element?Hattiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15672123162806640677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2015647452516526528.post-63025811306631260842007-03-26T07:20:00.000-07:002007-03-26T07:20:00.000-07:00They are both very cute.

I would definitely swatch the gathers since the thickness of knitted fabric doesn't always produce quite the same effect as a similar technique as the fine fabrics usually used. The other thing to keep in mind is that the purl ridge below the bust might stick out. That may be the effect you want, but for me, I prefer something that will lie pretty flat for those sort of details. Regardless, they are both very very cute and I think will work quite well in premier.Marniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13515010305975185984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2015647452516526528.post-68412957580391354352007-03-26T03:04:00.000-07:002007-03-26T03:04:00.000-07:00Welcome to Team Premiere!

How are you planning to do the shoulder straps?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16890828499956960922noreply@blogger.com
