I've finished up one stripe on the second side and am about to start the stockinette section on the second stripe. I came home on Friday to discover that I've been paid by Biscotte for the pattern and sample of this shrug pattern. Hopefully it will be released soon.
I thought I would share how I secure the first side while I'm working on the second. I knit the last row onto another, longer set of needles and then put a lock on those needles to keep the stitches from coming off.
This is what my stitch lock looks like. It has a spring inside. When you push down the holes from the two pieces line up and you can slide your needle through the hole. I put the both needles through the holes facing the same direction. Makes them a little easier to manage. I slide it down to the cable, that way the increase in diameter of the needle keeps it from being pulled off accidentally.
Pattern: Traveling Zebra Shrug by Carolyn Blakelock
Yarn: Biscotte & Cie Bis-sock
Needles: US 2.5 (3 mm) and US 4 (3.5 mm)
