I'm a cheap knitter: I don't buy patterns and I knit with whatever cheap materials I can find. While my projects are not as pretty as they could be, I enjoy my hobby and get to wear my creations. People actually wear my gifts. What else could I hope for?

Cutting a knitted piece
Yes, it sounds dreadful, doesn't it? But that's precisely what needs to be done with the front and the back of my purse (I knitted both pieces at the same time):
Notice how the very first section is too big compared to the rest. Plus, let's admit it, that very first color is yucky. So I'm planning on shortening that section down to a few rows.
I cannot believe I'm doing this on purpose. Wish me luck!

that pink looks just fine in the pics, but i can see why you'd want the stripe to be shorter.
good luck! i can't wait to see the final pics :)
Oh NOOOO!! Not scissors... Good luck! You're braver than I.
You will be fine, remember my steeking kit?
Yikes! Good luck!
Good luck! I'm anxious to see how it comes out!
I know that it can be done - Elizabeth Zimmerman said that it could be - but I've never tried it (at least not yet!) Good luck..
