knittingSometimes I leap into things without thinking all the way through, without reading all the instructions, or without thinking ahead for all what the instructions might be...
Which is why I now have a patchwork blanket made with a variety of yarns to piece together, and I'm looking at the patches made with 100% cashmere yarn, wondering what to do next. I reclaimed the yarn from a jumper at a second hand store and the shoulder seams were reinforced with some non-cashmere yarn. Of course, it's not until now, when I've knit everything up, that I'm wondering if maybe that means that seaming is complicated when working with 100% cashmere yarn. (My original plan was to use blanket stitch on all the seams.)
So, does anyone have advice on what I should be doing with regards to seaming the 100% cashmere patches?
Cheers!
