Spicey Beethoven Dickie!
I finally got to knit a Dickie! I've been wanting to since I first got my E.Z. books. I used some Knit Picks Bare, which I dyed with Turmeric a few weeks ago. I love how strong the color turned out, and the semi solidness of it. It's worsted weight yarn, and I used just a little over one skein. When you look at it in the picture on the left side, I tried to do the short rows with wraps, but it didn't really look any better. For all other corners I used the method E.Z. described in her book. I did also a 3-needle bind off instead of weaving the ends together. I like the garter stitch neck because it is so stretchy. I'm very sensitive with things around my throat, can't stand turtle necks, but this is O.K.I love knitting this Dickie, it was fast too. Might make some more, although my family laughed at me, and asked whether I had run out of yarn for a pullover, but we'll see who has the last laugh, when it gets cold! ;o)
There have been so many wonderful baby knits here lately, I like looking at all the knits presented.
Happy knitting all!

It looks really nice! Nice yarn color! You used tumeric? I'm going to keep that in mind next time I dye some yarn.

I love the color! It looks really nice too. I have been wanting to try one of the dickeys too but had wondered about it on my throat as you did. I think I will give it a try and see. Thanks for sharing yours.

Excellent! Long live the dickey -- which is so practical and can be so pretty, how did it ever become so maligned by history? I love yours. The garter stitch looks like it probably makes a rather stiff fabric, which probably looks terrific when worn. If you get a chance come colder weather it would be great to see some modeled shots. I love it!

Where is the dickie pattern? Is it in a EZ book?
