Things got a bit rowdy at my weekly wine tasting/knitting bee tonight. I was hoping the group could advise me on whether or not to add ruffles to the pair of cabled granny panties I was working on. You might be thinking that this is a relatively simple matter, but the room was sharply divided. Opinions were strongly stated, tempers flared, and a consensus could not be reached. On the one hand, who doesn't love a little extra flourish? The naysayers were quick to counter that ruffles would decrease the utility of the finished garment. Mavis and Claude almost came to blows, but luckily I had this little old popcast laying around, and peace and order were restored in no time. I still an undecided on what to do with the undies; perhaps the ruffles can be detachable?
