Karin R
One of the twisty trims looks a bit like a sailing boat on the waves, I´ll try that one in blue and try to bleach the "sail"... wish me luck
Christopher F
It would be like piping, right? I-cord as turning row in contrasting color...
Christopher F
They are very nice, though... lacey hems :)
Karin R
Thank you, Cheryl!
Christopher F
Indeed...
Tina B
icord as turning row is an exciting idea.

Matthew F
You love Icord
Christopher F
Yes!
Christopher F
Nice, thanks!
Tina B
Karin, it is just the first row that is tricky and slow
Christopher F
I just watched worm-trim video here last week... it was nice, too, but again, a bit feminine--or nice for a blanket...
Cherie S
I know what you mean Chri.stopher! My husband has vetoed the lacy hems too
Karin R
I loved reading "Twisty Trims" by Tricia L. Edwards, but never came around to trying one of those trims... Beautiful, but probably time consuming. and rather feminine :-)
Christopher F
I've been knitting men's shirts (button-up) and looking for non-feminine hems... they are nice, but I knit more for myself... mock ribbing and curved may be options for me... :)
Cherie S
I'll be trying Tina's hints.
Cherie S
Neither do I! i've tried both, but think the inside out looks better but still looks lumpy!
Hope R
yes - peek-a-boo
Tina B
cherie, just be careful with tensioning the mattrestitch just in the turning area
Hope R

Karin R
I do the joining row in about 2 numbers higher tension (looser row)
Cherie S
Are there hints on sewing your side seams at the hem area? I couldn't find anything and I don't like the bulk I'm getting.
Christopher F
Excellent resources at knititnow... classrooms are amazing!
Marie-Jo C
My picot edges curl a bit even though I iron them..
Maurie H
