I've made two of them, one for me & one for my mother-in-law.<BR/>The purl-5-together gave my hands fits, so I puzzled out what the yarn was really doing, and realized I could slip 4, purl the 5th, then pass the slipped sts over. Just needed a slight snugging-up when done, and looked better than my p5togs. (As I think about it now, I could have slipped 3, p2tog, then passed the 3 over - probably would have been slightly faster... Ah, well, maybe on the next one...)<BR/><BR/>Nupp on!<BR/><BR/>GayleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37808581.post-44698661471441834802007-06-04T11:46:00.000-07:002007-06-04T11:46:00.000-07:00I love coincidences!

She was showing me how she purled 5 teeny little stitches off her needles at one time at which point I swore off lace-knitting forver. But now, with your idea of the needle thing, I might reconsider such a rash decision.

This bubble/bobble-making-thing is a real killer - I once tried such a thing for a hat and I think it had even 7 stitches that had to be knit together - man, my fingers looked like gulash afterwards, and mind you, I so gave up after a while! Good luck with your bobble-making!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
