Ruffles, Ruffles Everywhere!
March 5th, 2006
I conquered the ruffles. I am the RUFFLE QUEEN of the universe. BWAHAHA.
Unfortunately, crochet ruffles were impossible for me. I tried and tried but I just couldn’t do it and decided to knit them instead. (I picked up stitches up the button band, again, and then doubled the stitches and knit for a few rows.)
I present the NSS cardigan with a knitted ruffle:
Very happy with the way it turned out. The ruffle adds a bit of something happy and I have been wearing it for two days straight.
I also finished my ruffles scarf from Scarf Style.
Casey is calling it my Rotini Scarf and told me I should knit one in orange and green also. What a kidder!
Finishing stuff! Wee!

Oh, Freckle girl, I love it. Also love that red neckelace, where did you get it? The ruffles definitly finish it off beautifully!!

Rotini is nicer than intestines like my T. is calling mine! Great job. It looks awesome!

Isn’t it nice to make a sweater you actually want to wear?!
I love them both (the scarf and the sweater, that is)

The ruffle is exactly what the sweater needed, a sweet little touch. Looks great.

Love them both. The mods to the cardi look great, and now I’m inspired to make one and lengthen it like you did. I have the pattern, but the cropped thing is what’s been holding me back.

I love your cardigan! It is a perfect fit and congratsl on figuring out a way to knit the ruffles.
And that scarf does look like rotini.

You are just as cute as a button in your ruffles! The cardigan looks very versatile - great job!
