Pineapple Pt 5

[totchipanda]

I finished my pineapple!








Shown over the dress I made in June :D The drawstring is just some yarn braided together. I'm going to put a tassel on the end of it. It's kind of bouncy and I'm not sure it will hold anything of substantial weight (I put my phone in it as soon as I cast it off, it got reeeally long), but eeee! It looks so good!

Things I learned: when casting off, going down to 2-4 stitches per needle, the sheer tension provided by the 32-48 stitches previously is GONE. I dropped a whole needle before realizing it and I didn't do the last two rows cuz the needles kept falling out and I kept losing where I was, so I just cut the tail and stitched them up.

Now on to socks!

Eeee pineapple!!

Maybe it needs a fabric lining (or just another bag inside it) so it doesn't stretch?

Yanno, making the lining slightly shorter so that it only stretches where it's attached honestly didn't occur to me lol. I've been waffling on fabric for lining most of the evening, but I will do that before I use it next week :D

It's so cute! And I agree - I think a simple lining inside would keep the pineapple from stretching.
