I didn't know they let you order, that makes the store even better.<br /> You are such a clever lady to think of knitting from both ends. I do believe you could wind the ball for a center pull. I didn't need an extra set of needles because it is only 8 stitches. I had a 10" straight pair and just left the 8 stitches on the needles, slid them towards the cap end and cut the yarn and casted on the next 8 stitches and it worked great. I figured I could see when they were the same length. You also reminded me of one other little hint. on the end of each row when I finished knitting the 7th stitch, I didn't skip a hole for the 8th stitch. I found when I was knitting the first few times that the edges kinda drooped so I just knit the last stitch on each row without skipping a hole. It worked great.<br />~JulieJuliehttp://jooliesews.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4503686943203191871.post-8354064154518357502011-09-14T09:41:15.622-04:002011-09-14T09:41:15.622-04:00Good to know!

The rep told me there is a you tube video on how to do this. I'm going to have to do a sample up right away and make sure the girls in the shop know about this. Would it be possible to make a center pull ball and knit from each end till you get close enough to being out of yarn to join them? You might need an extra set of needles.... :)Marcia Wentelahttp://www.bluebobbin.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
