Today I worked on the girl juggler finishing knitting all of her outfit. I decided that her leotard needed a little bit of adjustment in how it's knitted. You knit the bottom part starting from the waist. Then you pick up stitches at the waist and knit the bodice. I thought that instead of using the normal cast on I'l make it neater using waste crochet cast on. I crocheted a bit of yarn a few stitches longer than needed. Then I picked up stitches on the crochet and knit the first row of the leotard using the correct color yarn. In theory after the bottom part was done the crochet would just undo and leave me perfect live stitches to pick up. In practice I picked up the wrong part of the stitch so instead of the quick pull I invisioned it was undo each stitch which led to a cutting off of the crocheted yarn. The end result was the same as my original plan with a beautiful leotard, but I'll have to practice this again to see where I went wrong.
But now it's on the the boy juggler!
