One Done. One Nowhere Near.
The second flounce is knitted, and the ends are woven. By the way, it will look so much better when it's being worn than when it's draped over a bunch of intarsia squares.
And I got a decent amount of secret project done tonight, too. I guess I need to find out if the secret project really has to be. Maybe I can reveal all unto you, dear readers!
So the consensus seems to be pink seed stitch for the border. Now, I'm just afraid I'm going to have to make a swatch so I can pick up stitches sideways across it so I find out how many to pick up so it doesn't pucker. The question? Do I just do a seed stitch swatch and go by measurement? Or do I make a small sample of the stockinette and then pick up and see what it really looks like? Oy, more knitting to do!
