Pineapple Pt 5

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?

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