One Side Seam from Victory

I would post a picture, but it wouldn't look much different from last night, except now there is a neckline and armhole edging on the Biscotti top. Biscotti isn't a problem to knit with, but the nubby bits make it a little less pleasant to finish with. Normally I would just be going crazy trying to get the second side seam sewn up so that I could try on my new garment, but one side seam proved enough for me today. I'll tackle the second one tomorrow.

Now, you might be asking why I would be so foolish as to decide to do my seaming with the Biscotti instead of another yarn. Well. I did think about it for quite some time. And the problem I kept running into was that the fabric the Biscotti knits up into has a very open breezy texture. Any yarn that I use to seam is going to show up. So the best way to keep my seaming yarn invisible was simply to fight my way through seaming with the Biscott.

And, to be fair, my effort, so far, has paid off. Because of the all-over-the-place texture of the Biscotti it's almost impossible to tell where the seam is. I'd take a picture, but dark yarn at night is dark yarn at night, and no amount of fancy photography will make it any more interesting. Hopefully tomorrow will bring full victory!

And if you haven't taken a look recently, there's been a lot of interesting stuff going on over in the Audrey blog!
