mugsisme said... lisa, I made a different KS pattern and I sewed the ribbing on that way. The problem is that when you sew it on flat, then the thread shows through. (In that case, I had beige ribbing on a eggplant purple robe. I hate the purplel thread showing on my sleeves.)
This robe is sooo warm. I am thinking of making another. But then again, how many robes does one person need??? LOL. 12/25/03 1:16 PM
