I HATE Ribbing!

July 2023

Looking at vintage machine knitting patterns and books. Every pattern seems have ribbing at the wrists and hems.

Are you sick of ribbing like I am?

There are so many other ways available to finish our knitting.
I'll bet knitters from yesterday would be shocked to see us "let it roll" and add no finish to the edges of our knitting.   I don't think hems were in the MK vocabulary in the 80's

Can you imagine the reaction of 80's knitters to seeing deliberate holes in the knees of jeans? :o)

IMHO pretty edges and hems can add such an updated look to our knitting and break out of the 80's "ribbing on everything".
