Yesterday, I managed to finish the front of Jaipur, and using a short row shoulder treatment, I joined the stepped shoulders front and back with a three-needle bind-off. Short-rows make the step more of an elegant slope and eliminates the holes at the row changes I would get if I tried to do a three needle bind-off with shaped shoulders. I would have to rip it all out and re-bind off and seam like a respectable knitter. I had read about this application of short-rows in a class description from the upcomingTKGA Conference in Manchester, so I thought that I would try it here.
I am awaiting my registration information from the TKGA hoping for admission to the Friday July 23rd classes I requested, but I'll be happy just to go. Is anyone else going to be there?
Oh.I.really.like.THAT. Stop me now, before I start another thing I can't finish. I think Teresa C. is going to the conference.

Yes I am! I will be there all day Thursday, half day Friday and all day Sunday. Then there will be the shopping time......What did you sign up for on Friday?

Lucky you! I use (learned from Lucy Neatby) short row shoulders and love them! Take all the classes you can...it's always worth while.

Looks great! Love that lacy bit at the neck. So pretty!

LOVE your blog! Love the Jaipur too - is that your own pattern? In the mood to share?

Hey, the LD really shows that pattern nicely! I really like the neckline on that pattern, too...
*having LD envy cause I've had little time to knit this week..* ;-)

Jaipur is from Rowan #33. I love looking at it (you are such an inspiration!) and I would really like to knit it for myself, but I'm afraid that it won't have it in my size... but I think I can make alterations to the pattern to make it fit.
Rowan #33 on my shopping list? Yeap.
