I really love the colors of this shawl and I love wearing it, but I don't love the ladders that I have between my double decreases. You can pick up an entire column of stitches in those ladders, and that is exactly what I did. But how do I anchor them? I had thought about adding beaded kinky fringe through the last loop, but that would require a lot work and I just wasn't up for it. Instead I decided to use jump rings. I got the idea from folks making stitch markers out of jump rings with beads placed on them. So, I ordered some jump rings and on Saturday morning I sat down and fixed those ladders.
The nice thing is that if I lose one I can easily replace it, and if I change my mind and want to use different beads, or jump rings, I can change things out easily and quickly. My kind of fix.
