La p’tite astuce/the little trick
Je place toujours, pour du point mousse, une épingle à nourrice sur le devant de l’ouvrage (rangs impairs)
afin de bien le repérer, ce qui aide pour compter ses rangs et pour placer sur l’envers les fils créés lors des
changements de pelotes.
I always place for the garter, a safety pin on the front of the work (odd rows) to better locate, which
helps to count its ranks and to move towards the thread created when changes of balls.
