Neat and tidy edging for the ballband
A very nice thing happened to me lately...I got an email from Lisa who belongs to the Monthly Dishcloth KAL Yahoo group that I also belong to. She reminded me of her idea of using EZ's applied i-cord technique on the edges of the ballband to make the edges very neat and tidy which was posted here at the Mason-Dixon KAL in August..
Here's a comparison of the three techniques for edging a ballband:
The orange/green is the original ballband with no modifications. The blue/purple is the slip first stitch of every row, and the yellow/blue is the applied i-cord. I think you can see the differences.
Thought this was very worthwhile to pass on again in case you didn't happen to see it in August!
It's a good thing :) I have more pictures and the" how to" on my blog if you are interested!
happy knitting :)

I think the i cord edging looks very neat and tidy. I usually slip the first stitch. But this is even nicer. Thanks for the hint :-)

Modifications are always a good thing, they keep things interesting. Of course going back to the original never hurt anyone either. I love the colors on all three cloths!
I really like the i-cord, too, and have been doing mine that way since Lisa's suggestion in August. :-)
I can see the difference. I was wondering if anyone used the slip first stitch of every row for a smoother edge. I use that for the bibs too and think it gives a much nicer finish. I haven't tried the applied i-cord yet - but it looks good.
