So to rib or not to rib that is the question?
I have knit two swatches now, one on 6's and one on 7's. I really love the fabric
that it creates in straight stocking knit, but I thought it looks a bit sloppy
in ribbing. I was originally going to use the yarn for Tempting
by Jenna Adorno, but now I am thinking I should find some deconstructed plain
sweater for the yarn. I just think the colours of the yarn looks much better
in stocking knit. So what do you think... to rib or not to rib?
The bamboo yarn is really interesting. The hand reminds me a lot of linen thread. It is rather stiff while knitting, but the fabric has a nice drape.
