zOomiger is really a pussy cat. He wears a tiger
outfit and a fake tail so that he can pretend to be a tiger, but he is given
away by his meow. Wearing the tiger outfit didn't boost his self-esteem
as he is still extremely shy and timid. He has a fear of mice, when he
sees one, his eyes bloat up like balloons.

Hello. I hope someone can offer advice on my 2 dilemmas with this pattern:
ReplyDelete1. with the few stitches you have on the needle, how can you knit in the round without having long lengths of wool connecting the end of one row and the start of the next?
2. With the orange section knitted into the white, what should I be doing to ensure that there are no gaps between the white and orange sections? Currently if I move the orange section, you can see a vertical gap between it and the white sections. What is the tip/trick?
Thanks to whoever can offer advice. Bev
Hi Bev
Delete1) if you google 'magic loop' you'll learn how to knit without connection.
2) with all my toys, when I change colour, I do I knot to connect to the next colour as this will ensure a tight knit, an as you won't see the inside so the knot will not matter.
Hope this helps. If any more question please don't hesitate to ask. Shirley
