halfway there

[robinsnest]

The butt afghan is halfway done! I have to say it went a lot faster than I thought it would.



(pinned on the dress form)

I only did 4 stripes of five rows instead of six and 16 rows of ribbing instead of 24 as it seemed wide enough and long enough.

Good going! It makes sense that you'd be able to cut out a few rows since you're using worsted weight yarn instead of sport or fingering weight. You're starting to make me think knitting a petticoat wouldn't be so bad.

yeah I'm also only doing two panels instead of 3. I just can't imagine another 35" in there.

Yes, I would think that 70" would be sufficient width for something like this. You're still making me want to go look at the late century petticoat patterns I've seen.
