Was that a whole lot of work and bother for a very simple result?

I mean possibly? But really, you can say that about pretty much any thing you knit by hand.

And honestly, that was literally the first time I’d done a turned hem, it took me about thirty minutes more than a plain cast on would have (a big chunk of that because I stopped to take pictures), it is satisfyingly tidy, and I’m completely delighted to have done it.

So yeah, I’m calling it a win, because my brain could very much use a bit of soothing and successful novelty these days. And I don’t know about you, but I don’t need my knitting to be as efficient as possible, I need it to be as delightful as possible.

And this is delightful beyond words.
